Krátky popis
While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are
household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is
best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of
over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the
interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he
was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an
artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States
following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in
1933.Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of
Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers,
his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert
Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse, colleagues such as
Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson, and fans and collectors
ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul
Steinberg. If his network of influence was surprisingly wide, so,
too, were his interests.Albers started life at the Bauhaus as a
glassmaker, ran their renowned wallpaper workshop, and designed
furniture that is still in production eighty years later. He
pioneered the study of colour at Black Mountain College, organized
its famed `Summer Sessions' with guest tutors from Willem de
Kooning to Merce Cunningham, and went on to head the design
department at Yale. Drawing on extensive unpublished writings,
documents and illustrations, Darwent offers a broad view of not
only the artistic and political currents, but also the friendships
and rivalries that formed the backdrop to Albers' creative output.
