This impeccable edition allows us to decipher the interest Albers always showed in the ambiguity of perception: the discrepancy between visual in- formation received by the retina and what the mind perceives. It is clear that this identity does not reside in color itself but in its relationship with its surroundings.
Following a transitional stage, he began a process of experimentation on the optical effects of color that would culminate in his best-known series of paint- ings: Homage to the Square. In this series he used the calculus of ever lesser forms to illustrate his theory that changes in place, shape, and light produce changes in color.
