Josef Albers

Josef Albers (Bottrop, 1888 – New Haven, 1976) was a visionary artist and educator, best known for his exploration of color and geometric abstraction. His Homage to the Square series, with its meticulously crafted compositions of nested squares, remains one of the most influential bodies of work in modern art. Albers' rigorous studies of color theory not only transformed how artists approach color but also how viewers perceive it.
