The artwork is titled “Homage to the Square” and was created by Josef Albers in 1976. Executed in oil on masonite, it is a part of the “Homage to the Square” series and represents the Hard Edge Painting movement. This abstract piece measures 60.96 by 60.96 centimeters.
In “Homage to the Square,” the viewer is greeted with a composition that features three nested squares. The innermost square is a deep blue, surrounded by a slightly larger, darker blue-green square, which in turn is enveloped by an even larger, lighter blue-green square. The interplay of colors and geometric precision creates a sense of depth and vibrancy, epitomizing the artist’s exploration of color theory and perception. The artwork’s clean lines and structured simplicity embody the Hard Edge Painting style, focusing on the clarity of form and the relationships between colors.
