Just in Time: Josef Albers at the Morgan
posted on 15 Oct 2012 22:22 by Sara Spink
Anyone who has taken a painting class is likely familiar with the exercise of creating value studies, strips of tonal values ranging from dark to light. Having done so granted me an immediate familiarity with the preparatory studies comprising this insightful exhibition evidencing painter Josef Alber's creative process.
