Homage to the Square

"Homage to the Square" is a series of abstract paintings by artist Josef Albers, focusing on the relationship between color, shape, and perception. Each piece features nested squares in different hues, exploring how colors interact and influence each other depending on their context. The paintings invite viewers to observe how subtle shifts in color can create depth, vibrancy, or a sense of movement. Albers aimed to demonstrate the physical and psychological effects of color, encouraging an active engagement with visual perception and the nuanced complexity behind seemingly simple geometric forms.
