JOSEF ALBERS (1888, Bottrop–1976, New Heaven, Connecticut) war als Künstler, Pädagoge und Farbtheoretiker ein Pionier der künstlerischen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist bekannt für seine umfassende Werkserie Homage to the Square (1950–1976). Albers lehrte am Bauhaus, am Black Mountain College und an der Yale University.
HEINZ LIESBROCK (*1953) war langjähriger Direktor des Josef Albers Museum Quadrat in Bottrop und hat vielfach zu Albers publiziert.Josef Albers’s groundbreaking series Homage to the Square comprises roughly two thousand oil paintings. His continuous reflections and refinements for more than 25 years inspired numerous young minimal and conceptual artists in their search for a reduced formal language. This outstanding catalogue explores the secret of Albers’s subtle aesthetic and unearths its preconditions: What is the significance of the square? How does his impression of color and its use as a material change during this period? Featuring studies on paper, archival materials, as well as essays by internationally-leading Albers experts such as Jeannette Redensek and Heinz Liesbrock, this richly illustrated publication sheds light on the various inspirations that influenced Albers early on in Europe and later in America, and illustrates the lasting impact of his art and thinking.
