Author by: Josef AlbersLanguage: enPublisher by: Yale University PressFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 51Total Download: 597File Size: 44,5 MbDescription: In Poems and Drawings, first published in 1958, Josef Albers attempted to penetrate the meaning of art and life by the simplest, most disciplined means. This project was extremely important to Albers, who used its format to create complementary forms in both word and line that appear deceptively simple until they begin to disclose the author’s insights into nature, art, and life. Conceived as a kind of artist’s book, the publication features 22 of Albers’s refined line drawings alongside the same number of his original poems—each appearing in both English and German.
Printed initially in a limited edition and long out of print, this new edition of Poems and Drawings replicates Albers’s original book design and includes four previously unpublished poems that reveal playful and tender details behind Albers’s personal relationships, along with a new introduction by Nicholas Fox Weber. For admirers of Albers, Poems and Drawings will provide a closer look at a celebrated artist who was also an affectionate and articulate writer.

Born in 1888 in Germany, Albers enrolled as a student at the Bauhaus in 1920 and went on to teach metal-work furniture, typography, and design courses there until the school was forced to close in 1933. He then came to the United States to teach at the newly founded Black Mountain College in North Carolina and at Yale University.This volume focuses on one aspect of Josef Albers's career: his work in black, white, and gray. By concentrating on this select group of drawings, prints, photographs, engraved vinylites, and paintings, one can survey his work from the early drawings (1910s) to the late prints (1970s). What becomes clear is that, with the key exception of his conversion to abstraction at the Bauhaus in the very early 1920s, Albers remained largely immune to changing currents in the art world.
Throughout his life, he allowed only one of the pervasive social forces defining the 20th century to have a direct impact on his art - a very modern embrace of industrialization.

Their impressive collection of over 1,400 objects from Latin America, namely Mexico and Peru, represents a conscious endeavor that goes well beyond that of a casual hobby, displaying a deep appreciation for the art, textiles, and overall ingenuity of the ancient American world. This insightful book draws on primary-source materials such as the couple's letters, personal papers, and archival photographs-many never before published-and demonstrates their conviction that these Prehispanic objects displayed a formal sophistication and bold abstraction that defy the prevalent conception of the works as 'primitive.'
Moreover, it shows how the Alberses spread their appreciation of the ancient world to others, through their teachings, their writings, and their own art practices.

In the work he made at the Bauhaus and-following his emigration from Germany to the U.S.-at Black Mountain College and Yale University, Albers strived for economy of line and clarity of articulation, and he developed his pedagogy along similarly rigorous lines. At Black Mountain College, Albers encountered the educational theories of the great American philosopher John Dewey, who emphasized the importance of context and experience in education, and whose famous statement on aesthetics, 'Art as Experience,' was published the year after Albers arrived in the U.S. In 1963, Albers published the profoundly influential book 'Interaction of Color.'
Subsequently translated into 12 languages, it continues to be used in classrooms and studios worldwide. 'Josef Albers: Art as Experience' looks at the relationship between Albers' pragmatic (and Pragmatist) teaching and his art, presenting previously unseen works by Albers' students from the Bauhaus and elsewhere, along with little-known studies and other art by Albers himself, and reveals the vibrancy and extraordinary impact of Josef Albers' groundbreaking pedagogical methods.
