Josef Albers and his incredible color plates

Color, color, color,  on the left is a color wheel constructed from my color aid. I felt very acomplished after succsesfully arangeing these hues to make such a fantastic wheel of color.
My apologies for the green back ground, but because of it i can tell you that the green color is affecting the wheel in all of its colorful glory in look and appearance. This is due because of subtractive and additive optical mixing that occurs with color

We took a field trip to see Josef
Albers's original color plates at the library.
This was a lovely exsperience to behold!
I did noy reolize that our library had a rare collection of information such as these color plates.
With so many color plates to see it will be hard to talk about.

I believe this was a fancy study in how 3 colors can look like 4. There is a flap that if lifted, reveals that the half circle shapes are conected. This elegant study was one of my favorites to observe first hand.

This last study above  is a study of additive and subtractive transperncy.
Albers is adding and subtracting light for the viewer's eyes. The left plate is additive transparency,
the right plate is subtractive transparency. Keep in mind the terms are referring to the mixture of light which can be confusing if not explained.
