Description
The Alberses in Mexico explores the profound impact Josef Albers had on his art and teaching during his frequent visits to Mexico. In the 1930s, after fleeing Nazi Germany, the artist and his wife Anni settled in North Carolina, but it was their time in Mexico that deeply influenced his work. During their numerous trips to archaeological sites across the country, the couple studied monumental constructions such as Monte Albán and Teotihuacán, amassing a large collection of sculptures and ceramics. These experiences shaped Josef's abstract vocabulary, reflecting the principles he and Anni espoused in their teaching and art practice. The book showcases the significant role Mexico played in Josef Albers' development as an artist, particularly in his photography and abstract painting.
