They are three distinctly different books that cover a wide range of aspects of camouflage (both natural and military), with particular emphasis on World War I and the emergence of Modernism in art, architecture and design. All three books were written by artist and design historian Roy R. Behrens, who is internationally known for his research on art, architecture and design in relation to vision.

Reviews “The entwined histories of art, nature, science and war in relation to camouflage remained underexplored until the work of Roy R. Behrens. He brought critical engagement to the field by showing how the artist’s studio, the scientist’s laboratory, the taxidermist’s shop, the wilds of nature, the battlefield, and books of natural history were all relevant to camouflage’s study and theorization.” —Ann Elias, Camouflage Cultures. “I have long admired Prof Behrens’ original research… It takes a true scholar to trace and to carefully collect so much entirely new material and to give it the original visual slant only an experienced artist can provide.” —Rudolf Arnheim. Author Until his retirement from teaching in 2018, Emeritus Professor Roy R. Behrens was Professor of Art and Distinguished Scholar at the University of Northern Iowa. He had taught graphic design and design history at that and other schools for more than 45 years. He is the author of seven books, and literally hundreds of articles in journals, books, and magazines, and has appeared in broadcast interviews on NOVA, National Public Radio, Australian Public Radio, BBC, and Iowa Public Television, as well as in documentary films. He has been a nominee for the Smithsonian Institution's National Design Awards, has received the Iowa Board of Regents Faculty Excellence Award, and has been described in Communication Arts magazine as "one of the most original thinkers in design." He has lectured throughout the US, and, internationally, in the UK, Canada, and Australia. More information and a wide selection of his work can be accessed at
