Josef Albers: A Life of Art and Design This comprehensive biography offers a fresh perspective on the life and work of Josef Albers, one of the 20th century's most influential artists. Drawing on extensive archival materials, Charles Darwent presents a detailed account of Albers' career as an artist, craftsman, and thinker. From his early days at the Bauhaus to his later years as a professor at Yale University, Albers was a true Renaissance man, with interests that spanned art, design, color theory, and education. This biography sheds new light on his network of influence, which included notable figures from the worlds of music, art, and architecture. With access to previously unpublished letters and documents, Darwent's book provides a nuanced understanding of Albers' personality, artistic vision, and lasting impact on modern design.
