This small selection of works by Josef Albers (1888?1976) from the Davis
collections invites close consideration of the geometric line in relation to
color?or its absence?through prints and drawings, spanning 1944 to 1976.
Albers? teacher, writer, painter, and color theorist?was an influential
member of the Bauhaus before immigrating with his artist wife, Anni, to the
United States in 1933. His work continued at Black Mountain College and the
Yale University School of Art. In 1971, he was the first living artist celebrated
with a solo retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Curated by Lisa Fischman, Ruth Gordon Shapiro '37 Director of the Davis.
This exhibition is supported by the Claire Freedman Lober '44 Endowment Fund.
