Ich bekenne Farbe (Showing my colors) Contents: An entrepreneur portrays his stressful but colorful life and puts order into the chaos of color theories. An autobiography; this book is Harald Kueppers’ personal life report. He describes his childhood and his youth during the Nazi period. He became a soldier at the age of 16 and was taken a prisoner of war. By chance he did an apprenticeship for process engraver, i.e. a technician for multicolor image reproduction. He obtained the master craftsman certificate, gained an engineering diploma and set up a business. His profession led him to the theory of color. He noted that all existing theories were sector-specific partial solutions. He describes how he came to the conclusion that he should devote his life to the creation of a new, all-embracing theory of color. 621 pages with monochrome and polychrome images Can be purchased from bookstores or at Muster-Schmidt Verlag. |
