"Josef Albers (1888-1976) was one of the great abstract artists of the twentieth century, as well as one of its most important teachers, influencing generations of artists with his color theories. Born in Germany and a leading figure at the Bauhaus, he settled permanently in the United States at the end of 1933.". "The Prints of Josef Albers provides a comprehensive record of the entire graphic oeuvre of this "addictive maker of prints," some 350 editions in an extraordinarily diverse range of mediums and imagery, among them a number of posters. Also included are appendices that cover Albers's greeting cards from about 1915 to 1960; his very influential record album jackets (1959-61); and the 1972 portfolio Formulation: Articulation, which recapitulates the imagery of his mature career. With its comprehensive biographical essay, chronology, list of exhibitions, bibliography, and index, The Prints of Josef Albers reproduces and provides all the essential information about everything that Albers achieved in this vitally important aspect of his work."--BOOK JACKET.
