“Structural Constellation VI” by Josef Albers, created between 1955 and 1960, is a notable example of Constructivism and Op Art within the abstract genre. This piece belongs to the “Structural Constellation” series and reflects Albers’ exploration of geometric abstraction and optical perception.
The artwork presents a series of interconnected lines and shapes, creating an intricate geometric form that appears to float within the space. The simplicity of the black lines against the white background enhances the focus on form and structure. The interlocking shapes suggest a three-dimensional quality, invoking a sense of depth and spatial complexity despite the two-dimensional medium. Through precise alignment and proportion, Albers achieves a visual effect that challenges the viewer’s perception, embodying the principles of the art movements he is associated with.
