Artist, teacher, and color theorist, Josef Albers spent decades refining his concepts of color relationships and form. Formulation: Articulation, published after his retirement from the art department at Yale University, is a compendium of Albers's research. Albers considered this book to be a work of art in its own right—not purely didactic. In his words, "Our aim is not a retrospective report; the book aims at Art itself, meaning: no retrospective in the usual sense. These are visual realizations, here presented outspoken in silkscreen."
