The characteristic Bauhaus style was simplified forms, geometrical and highly refined.
The Bauhaus had a major impact on art and
architecture trends in Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Israel in
the decades following its demise, as many of the artists involved fled, or were
exiled, by the Nazi regime.
Josef Albers was a painter, poet, sculptor, art theorist, and an
educator. Through his teachings he introduced a generation of American artists
to the European modernist concepts of the Bauhaus.
His experimentation with color interaction and geometric shapes
transformed the modern art scene,offering an alternative to Abstract Expressionist, and inspiring movements such as Geometric Abstraction, color field painting, and Op Art.
