One of 28 slides of prints c. 20th century

Editor: This is "One of 28 slides of prints" by Josef Albers. It looks like geometric shapes interacting. The contrast is striking but something about it feels very still and quiet. What do you see in it? Curator: It makes me think of a quiet meditation, doesn't it? Albers was all about how we perceive. Those lines dance, almost breathing. He wants us to feel the space between them. Does it shift for you as you look? Editor: I think so! I didn't notice the depth at first. It looked flat, but now it feels like things are going in and out. Curator: Exactly. He's playing with our brains, isn't he? A simple little trick, but so effective. I wonder what else we are missing, hidden in plain sight? Editor: It is a really cool idea to play with perception! It makes you wonder. Curator: It does! A perfect reminder to look deeper, wouldn't you agree?
