The artwork entitled “Wall Hanging” was created by Anni Albers in 1925 and is an exemplary piece of Abstract Art, falling within the abstract genre.
The artwork is a woven textile piece characterized by horizontal bands of various widths and colors. The bands include hues of yellow, brown, beige, red, blue, black, and white, which are juxtaposed in a manner that emphasizes the abstract nature of the work. The composition of colored stripes against a more muted background creates a sense of rhythm and movement. The precision in the arrangement and the choice of contrasting colors reflect the principles of Abstract Art, where form and color are paramount. The weaving technique utilized by Albers demonstrates her mastery and innovative approach to textile as a medium for abstract expression.
