Josef Albers

Josef Albers (1888–1976) was a pioneering artist, educator and color theorist of twentieth-century modernism. After studying and teaching at the Bauhaus until its closure in 1933, he immigrated to the United States where he taught at Black Mountain College and later at Yale University. Albers’ most renowned body of work, “Homage to the Square” (1950–76), explores the interaction of color through nested geometric forms. Albers profoundly influenced generations of artists and remains a key figure in the history of modern art and color theory.
