Description

For Day 15 of Getting Unstuck, I imagined what Josef Albers (the great Bauhaus artist) might make with Scratch. (I'm currently reading Albers' "Interaction of Color".) As part of my research for this project, I came across an Atlantic article (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/12/the-secrets-of-color/382229/) about Albers. The article mentions a historical confusion, anxiety, and fear around color, described as "chromophobia". I thought this was a fascinating word (and cultural phenomenon); hence, the title.
