Design. Colour. Theory.: Bernat Klein – Eye for Colour

"It is possible to live without taking colours in daily life seriously just as it is possible to live and to ignore music, sculpture and other arts" opines the textile designer Bernat Klein in his 1965 book Eye for Colour, and thereby not only freely equating colour with other cultural goods but also very neatly setting up the refutal, "no one will doubt, however, that life will be fuller and richer if colours are daily absorbed, handled and savoured as they can and should be".1 Eye for Colour
