Josef Albers — Hommage au Carre: one plate
Josef Albers

Hommage au Carre: one plate

A masterful example of Josef Albers' celebrated *Homage to the Square* series, this screenprint presents nested squares of carefully selected colors that appear to shift and vibrate against one another, demonstrating Albers' lifelong investigation into the relativity of color perception. Executed in screenprint on the fine Arches Special MBM paper, the work achieves a smooth, luminous surface that enhances the subtle optical interactions between each precisely placed hue. The composition exemplifies Albers' belief that color is never static, but is perpetually transformed by its surrounding context.

Medium
Screenprint in colors, on J. Perrugot Arches Special MBM paper, with margins.
