Josef Albers' groundbreaking series Homage to the Square comprises
roughly two thousand oil paintings. His continuous reflections and
refinements for more than 25 years inspired numerous young minimal
and conceptual artists in their search for a reduced formal
language. This outstanding catalogue explores the secret of Albers'
subtle aesthetic and unearths its preconditions: What is the
significance of the square? How does his impression of color and
its use as a material change during this period? Featuring studies
on paper, archival materials, as well as essays by internationally
leading Albers experts, Margit Rowell and Donal Judd, this richly
illustrated publication sheds light on the various inspirations
that influenced Albers early on in Europe and later in America, and
illustrates the lasting impact of his art and thinking.
“When someone says, ‘red’ (referring to a description or a
colour), and when fifty people are listening, you can expect that
fifty people will think of red. You can be sure that all of these
reds are different.” With the first two sentences that begin a
masterpiece of art education, Interaction of Color, it becomes
clear how complicated the impact of colour and its visual
perception can be. First published in 1963 by Yale University Press
in a limited serigraph edition with 150 colour plates, this text
became a mass-market paperback with just a few colour plates in
1971. Since then, more than a quarter-million copies of it in
various editions have been sold. This influential handbook and
teaching tool for artists, instructors, and students is now being
republished as a new translation in a much-expanded edition. With a
new introduction by Heinz Liesbrock, it contains around sixty
illustrations of the colour principles Albers used to demonstrate
important axioms and rules of colour and its effects. As did
previous editions, this handbook offers indispensable knowledge for
everyone who deals with visual communication.
