Book Reviews of The Elements of Color: A Treatise on the Color System of Johannes Itten Based on His Book the Art of Color

Book Review: Awesome Introduction.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you know nothing about color theory, this is a beautiful introduction to it. I was very interested in illusions and the physiological effects of color, this book taught me what I needed to know. After this book I went on to another book that taught me more specifics but this is a wonderful addition to any artist's or scientist's book collection.
