Josef Albers (Bottrop, Germany, 1888-1976) was a German-born artist and educator. He taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, and headed Yale University's department of design. Albers is considered one of the most influential teachers of visual arts in the twentieth century. As an artist, he worked in several disciplines, including photography, typography, murals and printmaking. He is best known for his work as an abstract painter and a theorist. His book Interaction of Color was published in 1963. Albers' approach toward painting and pedagogy emphasized artists' experiences in the handling and mixing of pigments, which often have different results than predicted by color theory experiments with projected light or spinning color disks.
