Josef Albers: Formulation : Articulation

Description

Formulation : Articulation, the summation of Josef Albers' creative life, is now published in book form for the first time. Albers drew on over forty years' work in a variety of media - woodcuts, sandblasted glass pictures and oil paintings - to create the 127 abstract images, which explore colour and form. This volume retains the layout of the original portfolios, with one, two or four images across two pages, and Albers' comments, including key passages from his own writings, are supplied in two fold-out sections.

Tom Rosenthal (1936 - 2014) was an art historian, broadcaster, publisher and literary critic. He wrote a number of books, including The Art of Jack B.Yeats, Sidney Nolan and Josef Albers, Formulation : Articulation. Josef Albers (1888-1976) was one of the most influential artists and theorists of the 20th century. He taught at the Bauhaus and then at Black Mountain College, North Carolina, and Yale University.
