Homage to Albers

Josef Albers, Study for Homage to the Square, oil on blotting paper, 1976

A very astute reader commented that the SoHo loft kitchen in my last post reminded him of the work of Josef Albers. Would you agree?

The solid color blocks in Alber's paintings have a translucent quality, that relates to the way the color of the kitchen cabinets seems to glow from behind the frosted glass panels. Kind of like painted glass.

Interestingly, these lovely nesting tables designed by Albers, feature glass tops that have been underpainted.
