Josef Albers ( 1888 - 1976 ) was a German born artist and educator whose work, both in Europe and The United States formed the basis of Modern Art education programs of The 20th Century. Albers was a student at The Bauhaus in 1920, later being invited by the founder Walter Gropius to become an educator at the school. There his students included established artists Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
In the 1930's Albers emigrated to The United Sates where he would become head of the new art school Black Mountain College, and later in the 1950's he became head of the department of design at Yale University. His students in America included Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Richard Anuskiewicz, and Eva Hesse among others.
Accomplished as a designer, photographer, typographer, printmaker, and poet, Albers is best remembered for his work as an Abstract painter and invaluable contributor as an art theorist of color theory.
