Josef and Anni Albers: Art is Everywhere
Josef Albers (1888-1976) was an influential teacher, writer, painter, and color
theorist–now best known for the Homages to the Square that he painted between
1950 and 1976 and for his innovative 1963 publication The Interaction of Color.
He was also the first living American artist to be honored by a solo
retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in 1971.
Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver, writer, and printmaker
who inspired a reconsideration of fabrics as an art form, both in their
functional roles and as wall-hangings. Often considered the foremost textile
artists of the twentieth century, Annie Albers was the first weaver to have a
solo show at The Museum of Modern Art, in 1949.
Sedat Pakay's documentary film is the first and only time that the work and
lives of Josef and Anni Albers have been viewed in tandem. Pakay worked closely
with the staff of The Josef and Anni Albers foundation and its Executive
Director, Nicholas Fox Weber, who was a close friend of both the Alberses, and
conducted a number of unprecedented interviews with people significant in both
of the Alberses' lives. The film includes rare footage of the art of both Josef
and Anni, and insightful commentary from personal friends of the artists,
including architect Philip Johnson, who arranged for them to come to the U.S. as
refugees from Nazi Germany in 1933.
