Josef Albers' *Homage to the Square (La Tehuana)* (1951) is a quintessential example of his *Homage to the Square* series, which explored the effects of color relationships and the illusion of depth created by the interaction of squares within squares. In this particular work, Albers employs a vibrant color scheme of deep crimson and orange, with a yellow border framing the composition. The artwork challenges viewers to perceive the subtle shifts in color and value as their eyes move across the canvas, prompting contemplation on the nature of visual perception. *Homage to the Square (La Tehuana)* is part of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth's collection.
