1924 MacDonald-Wright

     I recently came across a reference to Stanton MacDonald-Wright's Treatise On Color, 1924 on your website. It is unclear to what the reference refers. Is it possible that you have a copy of this treatise? I have an example and am researching extant copies. MacDonald-Wright self published this manuscript, printed on one side of each of thirty-five unbound wove paper sheets measuring 12 by 8 7/8 inches, including the cover page.
There are two color wheels and a color chart, each on artist board, each annotated by hand in ink, with separate attached color squares painted in oil. There are two templates of artist board cut to overlay the two circular charts, each annotated by hand in ink. The treatise and charts are contained in a hand made slipcase of artist board covered in black paper. The text portion was printed by the Mayer's Co., Publishers, L.A.. 

Yours,

Mark Ostrander

     Thank you for your inquiry. I do not have a copy. I am trying to assemble biographical and bibliographic information about people associated with Ocean Park and MacDonald-Wright is an interesting case for his color painting and for his research on the color organ and color film . . .  I have picked off some of his brother's publications and . . . . If I hear of anyone, I will notify you.  Sincerely, Kelyn Roberts
