Albers, Josef | GB 2 (From Homage to the Square), 1969 — available on Composition Gallery
Screenprint on German etching paper - Signed, Titled and Dated
GB 2 (From Homage to the Square) by Josef Albers, created in 1969, is a screen print from the artist’s iconic Homage to the Square series. This limited edition piece is printed on German etching paper and features a composition of nested squares in varying shades of red and orange, meticulously arranged to explore the relationship between color and form. Albers' precise use of geometric shapes emphasizes how colors interact with one another, affecting the viewer's perception of depth and space. The simplicity of the squares contrasts with the complex optical effects generated by the color combinations. Albers, a master of color theory, used his Homage to the Square series to demonstrate how adjacent colors can dramatically influence the appearance of each hue. This screen print is signed, titled, and dated, marking it as a carefully crafted example of Albers’ exploration of minimalism and color interaction in abstract art.

What is abstract art?

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
