The artwork, titled “Two Structural Constellations,” was created by Josef Albers in 1959. It is a mural that belongs to the Constructivism and Op Art movements and falls within the mural and abstract genres. This artwork is part of the “Structural Constellation” series.
The mural features a series of geometrically precise, interconnected shapes that convey a sense of depth and three-dimensionality despite their two-dimensional form. The design is minimalist yet intricate, with clean lines and a monochromatic palette that emphasizes the structure and form of the composition. The artwork demonstrates Albers’ keen interest in exploring visual perception and spatial relationships, characteristics that align with both the Constructivist and Op Art movements. The setting of the mural, with its interaction between the artwork, the columns, and the ceiling, further accentuates the structural and spatial elements central to Albers’ artistic vision.
