“Structural Constellation,” created by Josef Albers in 1962, belongs to the Constructivism and Op Art movements and falls under the abstract genre. This artwork is part of Albers’ “Structural Constellation” series.
The artwork displays a geometric design composed of intersecting shapes that appear to be in three-dimensional space, despite being rendered in two dimensions. The use of black lines on a white background emphasizes the structural elements and creates an optical illusion of depth and movement. The precision of the lines and the interaction of forms reflect Albers’ exploration of visual perception and spatial relationships, hallmarks of the Constructivism and Op Art movements. The composition challenges the viewer’s perception, thereby engaging them in an introspective analysis of form and space.
