Untitled
1969
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1969 by Josef Albers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two overlapping sets of flat, geometric shapes. They look like stacked boxes or rooms, all in a light line against a plain background. The lines are thin but precise, creating a 3D effect even though everything is flat. The artist used simple lines to trick your eye into seeing depth. It’s part of a small group of similar works, all made the same way. Look up Josef Albers next to see how he played with shapes and light.
Josef Albers ( AL-bərz, US also AHL-, German: ; March 19, 1888 – March 25, 1976) was a German-born American artist and educator who is considered one of the most influential 20th-century art teachers in the United States.
