Josef Albers: Homage to the Square

$80

 It was in the summer of 1950 that Bauhaus artist and color theorist Josef Albers first began to experiment with depictions of squares as a method for exploring the optical effects of simple color combinations. At the time, he could not have foreseen that this experiment would quickly become the center of his artistic world up until his death in 1976 — but over the next quarter of a century, it blossomed into an obsession that resulted in a groundbreaking series of over two thousand oil paintings known collectively as Homage to the Square. Each piece in this impressive catalog features differently-colored squares nested within one another, which together illustrated Albers’ theory that changes in environment, shape and light would create alterations in color. Josef Albers: Homage to the Square 1950 – 1976 is an in-depth exploration of these monumental yet subtle works and their impact on the Minimal and Conceptual art movements. Within these pages, you’ll find striking reproductions of many works from this outstanding series, as well as early studies, archival materials and illuminating essays on the artist’s influences and thinking from a host of leading Albers experts. A fascinating look at the oeuvre of one of the most prominent figures in 20th-century art, this book is a must-have for any art-lover.
