Items related to Josef Albers: Formulation : Articulation
Formulation : Articulation, the summation of Josef Albers creative life, is now published in book form for the first time. Albers drew on over forty years work in a variety of media woodcuts, sandblasted glass pictures and oil paintings to create the 127 abstract images, which explore colour and form. This volume retains the layout of the original portfolios, with one, two or four images across two pages, and Albers comments, including key passages from his own writings, are supplied in two fold-out sections.

Review:
Belongs in every serious painter and art historian's library. --The Art Book
Encapsulates almost half-a-century's research on Albers' part ... we're lucky to have this book. Though costing £60, it almost seems a bargain. --The Architects' Journal
...a feast of colour and fine printing ... [Albers's] sense of colour comes across superbly in this most desirable book: highly recommended. --The Spectator
A masterpiece of graphic art ... one of the great graphic works of the 20th century and, arguably, the greatest sequence of abstract prints ever made. --The Independent on Sunday
Beautiful ... illuminating text by T. G. Rosenthal. --The Spectator
Superb ... in their book form of theme and variation [these prints] have a new eloquence and will vastly enhance Albers's accessibility. --The Times Literary Supplement

[ ] Tous les aspects de la pensée d'Albers et de ses expériences sur les rapports chromatiques et géométriques se trouvent réunis et illustrés dans ce livre.

Rosenthal qui restitue ce monument de l'art abstrait dans la vie et l'oeuvre d'Albers. » Très bon état (légères traces d'usage dont annotation manuscrite en page de garde) / very good condition (slight traces of use) (envoi suivi sous emballage pro).
