Building on the chromatic experiments of figures like Sir Isaac Newton, the impressionists, and Josef Albers, Cruz-Diez explored the perception of color as an autonomous reality evolving in space and time, unaided by form or support, in a perpetual present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in Spanish in 1989, \u003ci\u003eReflection on Color\u003c\/i\u003e details Cruz-Diez's theories of color and traces the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of his practice. Though the book was translated into English in Cruz-Diez's lifetime, it never saw broad distribution. In this text, Cruz-Diez explores eight of his major investigations into color phenomena, including his signature \u003ci\u003ePhysichromie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChromosaturation\u003c\/i\u003e series. Generously illustrated with examples of Cruz-Diez's work, this important text introduces Cruz-Diez's writing and thinking to a new generation of artists and scholars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Cruz-Diez Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Cruz-Diez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030027212X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300272123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cruz-Diez Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 7.09w x 0.63d","brand":"Carlos Cruz-Diez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069870567679,"sku":"9780300272123","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea038aa7-d8c7-47f0-ba96-b2b050794187.jpg?v=1685426986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reflection-on-color-carlos-cruz-diez-9780300272123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
