DESCRIPTION:
Stahl worked in Germany and Switzerland, prior to leaving for the U.S. to continue his studies. Georg Stahl was born in 1937 in Hoorn, the Netherlands, where his parents had fled to in 1930 from Germany in order to avoid arrest and persecution by the Nazi regime. Following the Tamayo project, he continued work as a Principal Designer, while collecting research material for
In 1981, for SOM (Chicago), he acted as technical consultant and artistic coordinator for a 24'x 25'x 2" solid laminated stained glass window designed by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo, fabricated by the Dutch company of Tetterode, and executed in Mexico City.

Two visionary color theories come together under one cover in this scholarly survey written by two of the best theoretical philosophers on color since da Vinci.. Good book on two important color theorists. This is a good book on two important color theorists. I wish there was more on Otto Runge though. Insightful, but still not the complete picture.
