	ALBERS
		Albers became a prolific artist, known primarily for his "Homage’s to Squares." Although he disavowed style category labels, he is credited with influencing the movements of Geometric Abstraction and Minimalism.
		Albers intended that the colours in his "Homage’s" series react with each other when processed by the human eye, causing optical illusions due to the eye's ability to continually change the colors in ways that echo, support, and oppose one another.
		Albers, who taught at Yale and lectured widely, combined the careers of teacher and painter so that his paintings demonstrate his theories and his theories draw upon his discoveries in design and color.

		Priority was given to working with materials, to the knowledge of manufacturing techniques on the basis of what would be needed in the workshops, and to the optimal usage of basic materials such as wood, metal, glass, stone, and fabrics.
		Albers aimed at conveying the essential characteristics of the materials and teaching his students how to deal with them.
		According to Albers, the specific choice of raw materials was meant to avoid recourse to solutions found on the basis of previous experience.

	Artist Detail » About “Josef Albers” » PaceWildenstein
		Albers was one of the few remaining faculty members at the Bauhaus in its final stages in Berlin, to which the school moved in 1932 after the Dessau government ceased paying faculty salaries.
		That summer, Anni and Josef Albers were invited to the recently formed Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where Albers was the head of the art department and art was to be considered central to the curriculum.
		Albers immediately began to teach-his students at Black Mountain would include some of the most significant American artists of their generation, among them Robert Rauschenberg- and to continue his efforts at printmaking, where he began to make woodcuts and linoleum cuts of original and rather playful abstract forms.

	Artist at Work--Josef Albers
		Albers applies the color thinly in one coat over a white underpainting so that the white underneath shows through.
		Albers seldom mixed two colors to produce a color for one of his "squares," but perhaps if the orange and green in this painting had been physically mixed, the mixture would have produced a similar gray--although darker.
		Albers even believed that an awareness of the interaction of color alerted the mind to changes and shifting relationships in life.

	Rob Roy Kelly Pedagogy: Josef Albers 6
		Albers told students that when one color is laid next to another and nothing happens, color is not being used.
		I believe that Albers was much more concerned with students’ exploration of this problem than with their success in finding the solution.
		Those individuals who were never students of Albers or actually did the exercises within a classroom context cannot possibly understand the value of Albers’ pedagogy through reading a book or simply looking at the illustrations in Interaction of Color.

	spencer baker on josef and anni albers at the cooper hewitt
		One remembers Josef for his ominously dull and fascinating "Homage to the Square" series that he made after coming to America; the curators decided to omit those works in favor of emphasis on his early design and furniture works.
		While Josef in "Upward", a glasswork from 1926, draws from Anni's subtle forms and imbues it a sense of cool restraint.
		Josef's bed and night tables from 1927 really did it for me. In such simple details such as the night table round handles turned inward to face the bed, one really gets the sense of intimacy and sensitive feelings present in both these artist's oeuvre.
