This superb facsimile of the only known notebook of legendary artist Anni Albers features 106 drawings by the modern master and offers insight into her methodology.
“We can simply turn the pages, and be dazzled and beguiled by [Albers’s] control of her medium and the forms that she could elicit from simple materials—pencil and paper—and apparently straightforward geometry … And we can let ourselves become caught up in imagining the workings of an acute and unceasingly inquiring creative mind.” —Brenda Danilowitz
This publication features an afterword by Brenda Danilowitz, Chief Curator of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, which contextualizes the notebook and explores the role that studies played in the development of Albers’s work.
