Josef Albers's social influence

He influenced many artists, such as Neil Willey and robert rauschenberg. From 1950 to 1958, Albers was the chairman and the design department was in Yale University. As an American art teacher, his method is innovative and shocking because

He eliminated the imitation of nature and other artists. His goal is to create a survey to coordinate or close the relationship between artists and works, and to eliminate anything that may interfere with this synchronization. In order to set the tone, he started his teaching class with dynamics exercises, so every student was asked to predict the design with the movements he intended to describe in his works. The square is the ideal shape for the series visited by Albers. The sizes of squares are mathematically interrelated, perfectly superimposed, and shapes will never occur in nature-thus ensuring the quality of their artificial manufacture. Albers intends to make colors react with each other in his "visit" to deal with human eyes and cause optical illusion. Because of the dominant ability of eyes, colors constantly change their ways, echoing, supporting and opposing. He used the least tools and pigments to complete these paintings with a thoughtful and cautious technique. He hates chaos and resolutely opposes free abstract expressionism. At work, he applied to a base or elementary school or university for masonite, which is the most durable ground he found. Then he squeezed pure pigment directly from the pipeline and painted it evenly, and made it as thin as possible with a palette knife.

In addition to painting, printmaking, murals and the implementation of the Architectural Committee, Albers published poems, articles and art books. Therefore, as a theorist and teacher, he has an important influence on young artists from generation to generation. As a color theorist, in principle, he asked to explain the reason for being overthrown, and the boundary between transparency, space and vibration. Albers explained that because of "color deception", he developed a unique experimental method to study and teach color, and passed a series of practical exercises. Albers, who teaches and lectures at Yale University, together with professional teachers and painters, makes his paintings show his theory and his theoretical reference, mainly in design and color.
