Josef Albers — Jhm-ii
Josef Albers

Jhm-ii

A precise and meditative exploration of color relationships, this screenprint by Josef Albers presents geometric forms rendered in carefully selected hues that interact and transform one another through proximity. Executed on German Etching paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Albers' lifelong investigation into the optical and psychological effects of color, demonstrating how perception shifts depending on surrounding tones. The crisp, flat planes of color achieved through the screenprint medium reflect Albers' belief in the systematic yet deeply sensory nature of artistic inquiry.
