Translated by Oliver Pretzel and annotated by Weber (director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation), the letters exchanged between Josef and Anni Albers and Wassily and Nina Kandinsky are
presented in side-by-side German and English translation in this appealing volume. The correspondence is filled with references to other artists and exhibitions, as well as events in their own
lives and references to their work, thinking, and shows. Many excellent color and b&w plates of photos and artwork illustrate the volume. The volume concludes with an annotated index of
names, short biographies of Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky, a list of their exhibitions, and selected bibliography. It is not indexed. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
