The artwork titled “Steps,” created by artist Josef Albers in 1932, is a notable piece within the Constructivism movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a series of geometric forms, predominantly parallelograms, rendered in monochromatic shades of black, white, and gray. These forms are arranged in a manner that suggests a three-dimensional staircase, ascending from left to right across the dark background. The stark contrast between the shapes and the background emphasizes the linear and structural qualities of the composition. The meticulous arrangement and sharp lines are characteristic of Albers’ interest in exploring spatial relationships and the perception of depth through simple geometric forms.
