The work features nested squares of blue and green, creating an optical effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work is a study by Josef Albers (1888-1976), part of his celebrated series, 'Homage to the Square'. Albers, a German-born artist who later taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, explored colour theory through simple geometric forms. This series, begun in 1949 and continued until his death, investigates the subjective experience of colour perception. Each painting consists of three or four squares of solid colour, each nested within the other. In 'Study for Homage to the Square: Beaming', Albers uses shades of blue and green. The squares are arranged concentrically, with the smallest, a mid-tone green, at the centre. This is surrounded by a darker blue-green, then a lighter, brighter blue. The colours interact, creating an optical effect where the hues appear to shift and change depending on their relationship to one another. Albers's technique involved applying thin layers of paint to create a smooth, matte surface, further emphasising the purity of the colour and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/homage-to-the-square-la-tehuana-josef-albers\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHomage to the Square: La Tehuana - Josef Albers — Josef Albers\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/homage-to-the-square-red-wall-josef-albers\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHomage to the Square: Red Wall - Josef Albers — Josef Albers\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/josef-albers\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Josef Albers →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Josef Albers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57220965663055,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57220967137615,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57220967170383,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57220967268687,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57220967301455,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57220967334223,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57220967366991,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57220967399759,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57220967432527,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57220967465295,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57220967498063,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57220967530831,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_fa018c58-c918-423b-ae50-4bc73371c398.jpg?v=1777244004","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/study-for-homage-to-the-square-beaming-josef-albers","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
