As a teacher and theoretician, he taught at major institutions in America where he influenced the rise of Color Field Painting and Minimalism. His principal artistic philosophy centered on the interaction between colors and their influence on one another. Albers articulated his theory in the series <em>Homage to the Square<\/em>, which he pursued from 1950 until his death in 1976. <em>Allusive <\/em>is one of more than a thousand works in the series consisting of mathematically aligned squares of varying hues and shades. Albers superimposed the squares to illustrate the visual ability of colors to connect and separate, advance and retreat, and create tension and harmony through proximity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2011.4.1-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2011.4.1-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2011.4.1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2011.4.1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/files\/2020\/04\/2011.4.1-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Josef Albers (German, 1888-1976) <em>Allusive <\/em>from <em>The Artist and The Printer Portfolio<\/em>, 1965 Color serigraph on paper Gift of Peggy Rogers 2011.4.1&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Josef Albers\u2019 involvement at the Staatliches Bauhaus school of art, architecture and design in Weimar, Germany, from 1923-1933 was instrumental in bringing Modernism to the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/2020\/04\/allusive-from-the-artist-and-the-printer-portfolio\/\" title=\"Allusive from The Artist and The Printer Portfolio\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1541,"featured_media":180,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[59,2,52],"class_list":["post-135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-printed-works","tag-albers","tag-german","tag-modern"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/muam-arthistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
