Homage to the Square . n.d.
Many of the paintings from these series have titles that reference music or sound, and the contrasting and complementary use of color and form within the works reveal the principles of visual harmony and disharmony and consonance and dissonance—musical terms Albers used in his teaching and in describing art—that he sought to explore in his serial production. A selection of paintings from both of these groups of work will be featured in the exhibition. Some studies and preparatory works for these series will also be shown, and they visualize Albers’s working process, which he equated to conducting rehearsals and exercises before a performance or recital.
