“Structural Constellation. Alpha,” created by Josef Albers in 1954, is an abstract artwork belonging to both the Constructivism and Op Art movements. This piece is part of the artist’s “Structural Constellation” series.
The artwork features a sophisticated and precise arrangement of geometric lines and shapes, creating an optical illusion of interlocking planes and dimensions. Against a stark black background, white lines intersect and define the outlines of rectangular forms, giving the impression of depth and multidimensional structures. The simplicity of the elements combined with their intricate and thoughtful arrangement brings about a sense of movement and spatial complexity, embodying the core principles of both Constructivism and Op Art.
