{"product_id":"64173-josef-albers","title":"Josef Albers","description":"Josef Albers’ famous series *Homage to the Square* comprises some two thousand oil paintings. The development of his constant “homages” over 25 years inspired numerous young artists of later Minimal Art and Conceptual Art in their search for an objective and reduced formal language. *Josef Albers. Homage to the Square* leads to the secret of his subtle aesthetics and their prerequisites: What meaning does the square hold for Albers? How did his perception of color and his handling of it as a material change during this time? The book reveals the development of a genuine language of painting, independent of all \"-isms.\" This outstanding catalog, with around 300 illustrations, including studies on paper and archival materials, illuminates the many impulses Albers received early on in Europe and later in America, and demonstrates the lasting impact of his art to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/64174-josef-albers?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=836ba23f2\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJOSEF ALBERS (1888, Bottrop–1976, New Haven, Connecticut) was a pioneer of 20th-century artistic modernism as an artist, educator, and color theorist.
