Eye for Colour

Shows wear and tear. Complete text pages but may lack endpapers. The binding jacket may also be worn. Eye for Colour is a semi-autobiographical book, in which Klein describes what he called the ‘the warp and weft’ of his early life and career. Interwoven throughout the book is Klein’s account of his determination to redefine woven textiles that captured his ideas about colour, design and imaginative techniques; and his success in creating his couture tweeds for the Paris and London Fashion Houses of the early Sixties.Throughout his exploration of colour, Klein produced a significant collection of paintings that demonstrated the connection between his artistic practice and his textile.
