The artwork, titled “Structural Constellation,” was created by Josef Albers in 1955. It is part of the Structural Constellation series and belongs to the Constructivism and Op Art movements. This piece is characterized as abstract in genre.
The artwork features a series of interconnected geometric shapes, predominantly parallelograms and rectangles, delineated by bold, clean black lines against a neutral background. These shapes appear to interlock and weave through one another, creating an optical illusion of depth and structural complexity. The arrangement of the lines and angles challenges the viewer’s perception, giving rise to an engaging and dynamic visual experience that exemplifies the principles of Constructivism and Op Art. The minimalist use of color and precision in form are hallmarks of Albers’ meticulous approach to abstract art.
