“Homage to the Square” is an abstract artwork created by Josef Albers in 1966, as part of the Hard Edge Painting movement. Executed in oil on fiberboard, this piece is a part of the “Homage to the Square” series and is housed at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in Texas, USA.
The artwork is characterized by its minimalist, geometric design. It features a series of concentric squares, meticulously painted in varying shades of green and blue. The precise arrangement of colors and shapes creates an optical effect that captivates the viewer’s attention. Each square appears to recede or advance depending on its hue, exemplifying Albers’ mastery of color theory and spatial perception. The work remains an iconic representation of Albers’ exploration of color interaction and visual dynamics.
