German-American artist Josef Albers (1888-1976) was a highly influential abstract artist and art teacher, particularly in the field of color theory. Albers trained and taught at the Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany before emigrating to the United States in 1933 in response to Nazi pressure. He taught in the United States for the rest of his life, spending most of his career at Yale University, and publishing his book on color theory, Interaction of Color, in 1963. This print, part of Albers' Formulation : Articulation series, is one of 127 screen prints showcasing Albers' career experimenting with color and abstract forms.
