== Biography == Son of the pedagogue and psychologist Weisberg Grigory (1884-1942). From 1943 to 1948, Weisberg studied in All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions (ACCTU).

Weisberg argued that the problems of colourism the way they existed after Cézanne have been exhausted and that the color unsaturated by semi-color carried very little information: any coloristic complexity is the result of the pigment differentiation. In 1960, Weisberg created a table of the major types of coloristic perception, their signs and structures.<ref>Weisberg, V. (2006). ''Autobiography. Weisberg''. The State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
