F 32 Pericles 1954

Josef Albers's "F 32 Pericles" (1954) is a prime example of his "Homage to the Square" series. This work features a black background with four thin white lines, which create the illusion of intersecting planes. The subtle variations in color and line weight create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to explore the relationship between color, shape, and space. Albers's minimalist approach to abstract art focused on the interaction of color and shape, creating optical illusions that challenged the viewer's perception.
