"The Interaction of Colors" is a series of studies composed of color-printed paper and mounted colored paper, some with cutouts. While the series was composed by Josef Albers, the illustrations feature the work of various artists and authors including Albers, William Bailey, Robert Engman, Janet Fish, Jay Maisel, and Mark Strand.

Josef Albers began his career in 1920, working with glass painting at the Bauhaus in Weimar. His move to the United States led to many trips throughout Latin America with his wife, Anni Albers, where he struck up a fascination with ancient Mesoamerica. Albers is most famous for his contributions to the abstract art movement of Color Field painting, exemplified by series such as this.
