Harry Wohlfarth was born in Oberstdorf, Germany, in 1921, studied fine arts at the art academy at Dresden, and completed his art training under Kokoschka in Salzburg. In 1953 he became a professor in the Faculty of Extension at the University of Alberta, and was well-known for his research into the effects of colour and light on behaviour. His many publications on this subject sought to establish whether colour has a measurable and predictable effect on people. He was President of the International Academy of Colorsciences in 1984. He died in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1996
