Josef Albers Formulation: Articulation May 21, 2011

Formulation: Articulation includes 127 silk-screened prints based on geometric designs and complex relationships of color. In these prints, Josef Albers (1888-1976) explores different effects of perception, such as the illusion of movement and the interaction of adjacent colors. His color research extended into such series as Treble Clef, Variations on a Theme, and Homage to the Square, all represented in this portfolio. An overview of Albers’ life work, this series of prints was published in 1972 by Harry N. Abrams, New York. The images were selected and arranged in specific order by Albers himself.
