Homage to the Square
"Homage to the Square" is a series of abstract paintings created by the artist Josef Albers. The works focus on the interaction of colors and geometric shapes, primarily squares, arranged in concentric formations. Albers aimed to explore how colors affect one another and how they can create different visual experiences.
The series is part of Albers' broader exploration of color theory and perception. Each painting features a central square surrounded by other squares, often in contrasting colors. This arrangement invites viewers to engage with the artwork and consider the relationships between colors and shapes in a new way.
