An incisive analysis of the pedagogy of influential artist and
teacher Josef Albers. An extraordinary teacher whose influence
continues today, Josef Albers helped shape the Bauhaus school in
Germany and established the art and design programs at Black
Mountain College in North Carolina and Yale University. His books
about color theory have informed generations, and his artworks are
included in the canon of high-modernist non-representational art.
The pedagogy Albers developed was a dynamic approach to teaching
that transcended the modernist agendas and cultivated a material
way of thinking among his students. With this book, Jeffrey
Saletnik explores the origins of Albers's teaching practices and
their significance in conveying attitudes about form, material, and
sensory understanding to artists Eva Hesse and Richard Serra. He
demonstrates how pedagogy is a framework that establishes the
possibility for artistic discourse and how the methods through
which artists learn are manifested in their individual practices.
Tracing through lines from Albers's training in German educational
traditions to his influence on American postwar art, Josef Albers,
Late Modernism, and Pedagogic Form positions Albers's pedagogy as
central to the life of modernism.
