This study for Josef Albers's "Homage to the Square" series is a striking example of his exploration of color relationships and optical illusion. The work features concentric squares, each a slightly different shade of green, creating a sense of depth and movement. Albers's use of color creates a dynamic interplay, drawing the viewer's eye across the surface of the canvas. The subtle variations in hue and the interplay of the square forms exemplify his belief that color is not inherent but rather a perceptual experience.
