The artwork “Structural Constellation” created by Josef Albers between circa 1950 and circa 1952, belongs to the art series entitled “Structural Constellation.” This abstract piece is aligned with the Constructivism and Op Art movements.
The artwork predominantly features geometric forms delineated with precise, straight lines, creating a stark contrast against the dark background. The seemingly simple intersecting shapes form complex, multidimensional structures that challenge the viewer’s perception of depth and spatial relationships. The minimalistic color palette, primarily consisting of monochromatic tones, enhances the emphasis on form and structure. This piece exemplifies the disciplined and analytical approach characteristic of Albers’ oeuvre, inviting contemplation on the interplay between form, line, and space.
