Josef Albers fu un artista ed educatore tedesco-americano il cui lavoro, sia in Europa che negli Stati Uniti, costituì la base dei programmi moderni di educazione artistica del ventesimo secolo. Il suo approccio innovativo all'insegnamento e al lavoro teorico influenzò generazioni di artisti e designer. L'enfasi di Albers sulla percezione del colore e della forma attraverso le sue rinomate serie e metodi pedagogici continua a risuonare nell'arte contemporanea. La sua eredità risiede nell'esplorazione sistematica delle relazioni visive e del loro impatto sulla percezione umana.
Focusing on color experimentation, this handbook serves as a vital resource for artists, instructors, and students alike. It showcases Albers' innovative concepts in a manner that is accessible to both specialists and a broader audience, making it an essential tool for enhancing understanding and application of color in art.
Focuses on one aspect of the world-renowned modernist painter and designer's his work in black, white and grey. Throughout most of his career Albers was largely immune to changing currents in the art world, but was influenced by one social force- industrialization.
An experimental approach to the study and teaching of color is comprised of exercises in seeing color action and feeling color relatedness before arriving at color theory.
An introduction to shapes through the acclaimed art of Josef Albers The influential art of Josef Albers is used to teach shapes in this stylish read-aloud board book, which takes children through Albers' range of geometrics, one artwork per page, beginning with squares and returning to them as a familiar refrain throughout. The variance of colour, scale, and quantity adds to the richness of the visual arc, and the accompanying text provides a humorous and engaging commentary. Readers will not only learn their shapes, but also grow familiar with fine art in this second title in the 'First Concepts with Fine Artists' series. Includes a read-aloud `about the artist? at the end.
Josef Alber's Homage to the Square series paintings are bright and universal. His classic Bauhaus style artwork is reproduced here for our museum quality notecard collection.
Rarely seen together, the artwork of Josef Albers (1888?1976) and Giorgio Morandi (1890?1964) shares many similarities. Although they never met, both artists worked in series as they explored difference and potential through their distinctive treatment of color, shape, form, and morphology. They were also both influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists and experts in proportion, they tackle similar conceits from different perspectives. Albers focused on the effects of subtle or bold changes and interactions in color, while Morandi made still lifes that treat simple objects as a cast of characters on a stage, exploring their relationship in space.00Published on the occasion of the critically acclaimed exhibition 'Albers and Morandi: Never Finished', the book illuminates the visual conversation between these two artists. With the exhibition hailed by The New Yorker?s Peter Schjeldahl as ?one of the best ? I?ve ever seen,? this publication brings this unusual, thought-provoking pairing to your home. Gorgeous reproductions are accompanied by a roundtable about form and color between the exhibition?s curator, David Leiber; Heinz Liesbrock, the director of the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop, Germany; and Nicholas Fox Weber, the director of Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, as well as an essay by the Morandi expert and founder of the Center for Italian Modern Art, Laura Mattioli.00Exhibition: David Zwirner Gallery, New York, USA (07.01.-27.03.2021)
