Description
Subject Matter:
This screenprint is the fourth of ten prints, included in a color study series titled Homage to the Square: Edition Keller Ia-Ik. Albers was interested in the way viewers perceive colors in relation to other colors and in his 1954 text "The Color in My Paintings," he writes, "Despite an even and mostly opaque application, the colors will appear above or below each other, in front or behind, or side by side on the same level. They correspond in concord as well as in discord, which happens between both, groups and singles. Such action, reaction, interaction—or interdependence—is sought in order to make obvious how colors influence and change each other; that the same color, for instance—with different grounds or neighbors—looks different. But also, that different colors can be made to look alike."
Physical Description:
This square screenprint has three squares in red. They are all nestled within each other, with the darkest red on the outside, becoming lighter towards the smallest square. The print is titled (l.l.) "EK Id" in pencil.
