| Summary: | Featuring more than two hundred and fifty works, including paintings, photographs, drawings, textiles, and furniture, this volume traces the creative development of Josef and Anni Albers. It features contributions exploring the couple's relationship and aspects of their professional partnership, including their meeting at the Bauhaus School and their years at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Essays examine topics such as the influence of Pre-Colombian art; Josef's masterwork Homage to the Square; Anni's jewelry and works on paper; Josef's classes at Yale University; and Anni's years as a graphic designer after her husband's death. Both artists are celebrated for their achievements in their respective fields--Josef for his color theory classes at Yale, Anni for her innovative use of unconventional materials. |
