The artwork, titled “Adobe (Variant): Luminous Day,” was created by Josef Albers between 1947 and 1952. This abstract piece belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement and is crafted using oil on masonite. Measuring 28 x 53.34 cm, it is part of the “Adobe/Variants” series.
The artwork features a composition of geometric shapes and vibrant colors arranged in a manner characteristic of Albers’ exploration of color interaction and spatial perception. Predominantly, it displays interlocking rectangles in hues of blue, pink, and orange, framed by bands of gray and placed against a lighter background, creating a layered and visually striking design. The precise color application and clear boundaries between shapes exemplify the Hard Edge Painting style, making the piece a compelling study of light, color, and form.
