In this marvelous book, color takes its rightful place along with form, texture, and function. Fifty artists are featured, with a description of each's concepts and techniques, alongside superb photography. Although the information is a sufficient platform for further learning, "Color on Metal" is not a tutorial (nor a formulary) but a stimulating exploration of each artist's personal approach to surface and color. You will find these diverse and often ingenious expressions anything but afterthoughts or casual embellishments. They are differences that make the difference, and it's simply impossible to come away indifferent or uninspired by the rich creative potential of both old and new methods surveyed in this well-organized, beautifully photographed "must have" book.
