Description
A geometric abstraction by Josef Albers, 'Structural Constellation VI' uses precise lines and overlapping quadrilaterals to create an illusion of three-dimensionality on a flat plane.
Josef Albers (1888-1976) was a German-American artist and educator whose work, both in Europe and the United States, helped to define the course of 20th-century modernism. Albers is perhaps best known for his abstract paintings and colour theory, but his practice also included graphic arts and design. He taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, influencing generations of artists. His series 'Homage to the Square' is a well-known exploration of colour relationships. 'Structural Constellation VI' presents a geometric abstraction rendered with precise lines. The composition features overlapping quadrilaterals, some delineated with heavier lines to suggest depth and form. The lines create an illusion of three-dimensionality on a flat plane. The work is executed with a minimalist approach, focusing on the interplay of line and space. The colour palette is restricted to black, grey, and the off-white of the paper, emphasising the structural aspects of the design.

Artist Biography
Josef Albers
He was born in 1888 in Bottrop, Westphalia, into a Roman Catholic craftsman's family. He worked as a schoolteacher for five years before deciding to study art, joining the Bauhaus as a student in 1920 and becoming a faculty member by 1922. He married Anni Fleischmann, a Bauhaus textile student, in 1925.
At Black Mountain, his students included Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Ruth Asawa, and Ray Johnson. He left in 1950 to head the Department of Design at Yale, where he taught until retirement in 1958. The teaching produced Interaction of Color (1963), a text arguing that colour can only be understood in context, never in isolation. It remains a standard reference.
The Homage to the Square series occupied the rest of his life: nested squares of colour, painted obsessively, with every pigment and proportion meticulously recorded. The paintings look simple. The colour relationships within them are not. He died in 1976.
