About the artists:
Josef Albers (b.1888 d.1976) is widely recognized as an icon of the Abstract, minimalist and conceptual art movements. Through the 1950s and ‘60s Albers created his signature series “Homage to the Square”. Which focused on the simplification of form and the interplay of shape and color. Hundreds of variations were created using the basic compositional scheme of three or four squares set inside each other. “Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature,” he once said. “I prefer to see with closed eyes.” His abstract canvases employed rigid geometric compositions in order to emphasize the optical effects set off by his chosen color palettes. Albers was also a very influential teacher, teaching at world renowned schools such as; Bauhaus, Black Mountain College, Yale, and Harvard. Other iconic artists such as Eva Hesse, Cy Twombly, Richard Anuszkiewicz, and Robert Rauschenberg were students of Albers.
Auguste Herbin (French 1882-1960) is noted for his contributions to abstract art community over his lifetime. He was a cofounder of the abstract purist groups Abstraction-Création and Réalités Nouvelles in mid-century Paris. Herbin’s work was most often aligned with geometric abstraction; but his earlier works were influenced by New Objectivism, Post Impressionism, Surrealism, and Fauvism. After viewing microphotographs of crystals and plants he abandoned figurative painting and he established Abstraction-Création, a non-figurative abstraction art group. In 1942, Herbin created his “alphabet plastique,” a concept described in the book L’art non-figuratif non-objectif (1949) as a system relating color, shape, music notes, and letters. Herbin continued to create art in this style until his death in 1960. He left his last work, entitled Fin, unfinished.
