Lithographs by Blair Litho, Los Angeles, CA, USA
From: Open edition catalog by Kenneth E. Josef and Tyler & Henry T. Hopkins, Josef Albers: White Line Squares, Published to accompany an exhibition held in Los Angeles, CA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1966. This work is not related to the Gemini G.E.L. edition(s) and hence it not signed or numbered.
In his “White Line Squares” (often abbreviated as “WLS”) series, Josef Albers experimented with how a simple white line can transform a viewer’s perception of its surrounding colors. Building upon his iconic “Homage to the Square” designs, Albers’s “White Line Squares” showcase four nested squares with a thin white line framing one of the squares. Between 1966 and 1967, Albers developed 17 color schemes for the print series, numbered from I to XVII, and produced them in collaboration with the esteemed Los Angeles print workshop Gemini G.E.L. Each color needed to be applied separately and with incredible precision, as any mishap would ruin the visual effect of the perfect white line.
----------------------
Josef Albers (March 19, 1888 – March 25, 1976) was a German-born American artist and educator whose work, both in Europe and in the United States, formed the basis of modern art education programs of the twentieth century.
Accomplished as a designer, photographer, typographer, printmaker, and poet, Albers is best remembered for his work as an abstract painter and theorist. He favored a very disciplined approach to composition. Most famous of all are the hundreds of paintings and prints that make up the series, Homage to the Square. In this rigorous series, begun in 1949, Albers explored chromatic interactions with nested squares. Usually painting on Masonite, he used a palette knife with oil colors and often recorded the colors he used on the back of his works. Each painting consists of either three or four squares of solid planes of color nested within one another, in one of four different arrangements and in square formats ranging from 406×406 mm to 1.22×1.22 m
