I-S LXXIIb Homage to the Square

Entry/Object ID

Description

Typical of Albers, these works, composed of squares, one inserted into the next. Both images are shades of grey with one having a black square in its center. The squares are not placed with even measurements surrounding it giving the impression of depth but with an angular perspective. In both cases, the outside square gets progressively darker as it gets smaller and closer to the center.
