Josef Albers: Homage to the Square

Josef Albers: Homage to the Square explores the definitive series of one of the most influential artists and educators of the 20th century. Published to document Albers’s twenty-five-year technical and philosophical study of color theory, this volume examines the artist’s signature format of nested squares. By maintaining a constant geometric structure, Albers demonstrates how color perception is entirely relative, shifting based on proximity and light. This comprehensive study serves as a vital record of a body of work that bridged European Modernism with American Abstraction and redefined the language of modern art.
