First Edition of this artist's manual on colour by well-known American painter and scholar Hilaire Hiler (1898-1966). In his introduction, Hiler discusses the current trends in colour theory and asserts his own aesthetic perspective: "Over-scientific approach has too often put color into a straight jacket," whereas the author's point of view is psychological, not physical. Accompanied by a colour wheel and an excellent bibliography.
