| Summary |
"The concept of this publication is the realization rather than the reproduction of the essential ideas in Josef Albers' works...Works have been selected from forty years of Albers' search and offer an unusual opportunity for study of this significant artist's direct participation in an original development of his own work...Finally, in Josef Albers' own words: "Our aim is not a retrospective report; the book aims at art itself, meaning: no retrospective in the usual sense. These are visual realizations here presented outspoken in silkscreen""--Preface (p.[4]). |
