Josef Albers Josef Albers (March 19, 1888 – March 25, 1976) was an American-German artist best known for his iconic colour square paintings—the Homage to the Square series. These works along with his writings are considered invaluable contributions to colour theory. Before Josef Albers was an artist, he worked as an elementary school teacher for over a decade. In the 1920s, much to the dismay of his parents, he quit teaching to study art and design at the groundbreaking 'Bauhaus' school in Weimar, Germany. After just three years of instruction, Albers joined the faculty there, becoming the first ‘Bauhaus’ student to be promoted to a professorial role. When the ‘Bauhaus’ closed in 1933, Albers immigrated to the United States. Over the next 30 years, he thrived as both an artist and a teacher, honing his signature style of abstraction while leading classes at North Carolina’s legendary 'Black Mountain College' and Connecticut’s 'Yale University School of Art'. Albers always relied on his training as an elementary school teacher to guide his lesson plans. He rarely gave lectures—instead, he encouraged his students to learn through hands-on experimentation. This progressive teaching method proved effective. Many of his students—Eva Hesse, Ruth Asawa, Ray Johnson, Cy Twombly, Richard Anuszkiewicz, John Chamberlain, Richard Serra, and Robert Rauschenberg among them—would later become some of the most influential artists of the 21st century. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #josefalbers #bahaus #artist #painter #furnituredesigner #teacher #typographer #author #interactionofcolour #homagetothesquare
