1966
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1966 ink by Josef Albers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows three bright yellow squares stacked inside each other. The biggest square fills most of the canvas, with a slightly smaller one centered inside it, and the smallest one in the middle. The edges are clean and sharp, with no shading or texture. The colors are all the same warm yellow, but the edges fade slightly where they meet. This makes the squares look like they’re floating. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
