Description

Josef Albers is one of the fathers of an analytical and concretist vision of painting, now definitively freed from the mimetic datum. In the thirties Albers and his wife Anni are called to teach at Black Mountain College, an experimental school that wanted to continue the ideals of the Bauhaus in the United States. Albers is a keen supporter of abstractionism as an essential function of the human spirit: art concerns the knowledge and application of the fundamental laws of form with particular attention to light as color. Gentle Venture from 1957 is part of the “Study for Homage to the square” series. The series, to which Albers devotes himself for most of his artistic career (from 1950 to 1976) collects studies dedicated to the shape of the square, it is about squares of pure colors placed one inside the other. Gentle Venture is a “sweet speculation” based - starting from the center - on the combination of gray and three different types of yellow, while the second investigates the relationship between blue and green. The methods of realization and the materials used are explained by the artist in each of his works, to underline that every aspect in the pictorial language has meaning and value, and that everything comes from the colors. with a spatula it makes the pictorial surface homogeneous and flat. It is the interaction between colors, which Albers chooses with the utmost care based on the effects of transparency, intensity, warmth and depth that they activate, that determines the shapes. Thus Albers proclaims not only repetition as a method of experimentation and research on form, but also the autonomy of color and of the pictorial language itself.
