Discovery and Invention The Early Graphic Works of Josef Albers

Watch a short film documenting the first major survey of early graphic works by Josef Albers (1888 - 1976) staged at Cristea Roberts Gallery, London, 10 December 2021 to 22 January 2022. 'Discovery and Invention: The Early Graphic Works of Josef Albers' traces the artist’s early printmaking career, beginning with his first explorations of the medium in 1916, whilst teaching in an elementary school, and ending in his final year at Black Mountain College, USA, in 1949. Almost 50 works on paper on show, all of which come directly from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, feature scenes of domestic animals, local industry, rare self-portraits as well as portraits of his friends. The exhibition culminates in the first appearance of geometric forms inspired by pre-Columbian architecture. This comprehensive review explores the complex themes and subject matter that shaped the evolution of Albers’s work in the first half of the twentieth century, prior to his experimentation with his renowned homages to the square.
