Josef Albers

Born: 1888
Died: 1976

Born in Germany, Albers studied art in Berlin, Munich and Essen and then at the Bauhaus, where he became a teacher in 1922. When the Bauhaus closed as a result of Nazi pressure in 1933, Albers emigrated to the United States and taught at Black Mountain College, North Carolina until 1949, then at the Department of Design at Yale University until he retired from teaching in 1958. His style changed from one of expressionist to Geometric Abstraction and Minimalism. He became devoted to the "square" painting in various primary colours in later life.
