“In visual perception, a color is almost never seen as it really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.” Josef Albers
One might call Josef Albers a colorful character…
Albers is widely regarded as the father of color theory, having pioneered the study of chromatic interaction and perceptual properties of color. He was a central figure at Black Mountain College, the experimental arts school in North Carolina — and as the college’s very first teacher, was tasked with creating its art curriculum. However, it is his fascination with music that is the focus of Sonic Albers, now on view at David Zwirner gallery.
