“Double Impression IV” is an abstract artwork created by Anni Albers in 1978. As an influential piece from the Abstract Art movement, this work distills its visual language to basic geometric forms and lines.
The artwork presents a stark, two-tone composition featuring a vibrant blue background with a structured, grid-like pattern of white motifs on top. The white elements have a rough, textured appearance and are arranged in a seemingly random, yet rhythmic, distribution, creating a sense of intricate movement across the canvas. The maze-like pattern suggests an exploration of depth and the relationship between positive and negative space. The simplicity of color and complexity of form exemplify Albers’s interest in the interaction between color and structure, characteristics that are typical of her abstract genre.
