Notan: The Dark-Light Principle of Design by Dorr Bothwell

I flip through this book every so often when I am thinking about composition in a more abstract light/dark way.

I believe all paintings need to have an interesting abstract design, whether the painting is hyper-realistic or not. So it is fun to think in black and white, and to think about how to apply these concepts to my own work.
