Description
A geometric abstract print by Josef Albers, 'Structural Constellation' uses interconnected lines to create the illusion of three-dimensional forms on a flat plane. The stark contrast between the white lines and the black background enhances the visual impact.
Josef Albers (1888-1976) was a German-American artist and educator whose work, both in Europe and the United States, helped to define the course of 20th-century modernism. Albers is best known for his abstract paintings and colour theory. He studied at the Bauhaus, where he later taught, before emigrating to the United States in 1933. There, he taught at Black Mountain College and Yale University. 'Structural Constellation' exemplifies Albers's exploration of geometric abstraction. The composition features a series of interconnected lines that create the illusion of three-dimensional forms on a flat plane. The stark contrast between the white lines and the black background enhances the visual impact, drawing the viewer's eye to the interplay of shapes and spatial relationships. This work reflects Albers's interest in perception and the way simple geometric elements can create complex visual experiences. The precise execution and minimalist aesthetic are characteristic of his approach to art, which sought to reduce forms to their essential components.

Artist Biography
Josef Albers
Albers arrived at Black Mountain College in November 1933, unable to speak English. His wife Anni spoke on his behalf; she was fluent. They had fled Germany weeks earlier. Under the Nuremberg Laws, Anni, who was Jewish, was at risk. The Bauhaus had been forced to close. Philip Johnson, then a curator at MoMA, had arranged the position.
He was born in 1888 in Bottrop, Westphalia, into a Roman Catholic craftsman's family. He worked as a schoolteacher for five years before deciding to study art, joining the Bauhaus as a student in 1920 and becoming a faculty member by 1922. He married Anni Fleischmann, a Bauhaus textile student, in 1925.
At Black Mountain, his students included Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Ruth Asawa, and Ray Johnson. He left in 1950 to head the Department of Design at Yale, where he taught until retirement in 1958. The teaching produced Interaction of Color (1963), a text arguing that colour can only be understood in context, never in isolation. It remains a standard reference.
The Homage to the Square series occupied the rest of his life: nested squares of colour, painted obsessively, with every pigment and proportion meticulously recorded. The paintings look simple. The colour relationships within them are not. He died in 1976.
