The artwork titled “Grid Mounted,” created by artist Josef Albers in 1921, exemplifies the Abstract Art movement. It is constructed using a mixed technique and measures 32.4 by 28.9 centimeters. The genre of this artwork is abstract.
The artwork features a meticulously arranged grid composed of square tiles in varied colors and patterns. Each square is distinct, showcasing different hues such as green, yellow, blue, purple, and white, among others, with some tiles displaying textured patterns or grids within them. The dense black grid that holds the squares creates a sense of separation yet cohesion among the individual elements, giving the piece a dynamic yet structured appearance. This balance of color and form is characteristic of Albers’s exploration of the interaction between colors and the perception of space and structure in abstract art.
