Learn the wonder of different shapes through the art of Josef Albers
Squares & Other Shapes uses the vivid artworks of Josef Albers to guide children through a wide range of geometrics, one artwork per page, beginning with squares and returning to them as a familiar refrain throughout. The variations between the vibrant shapes add to the book’s visual richness, and the accompanying text provides a relatable and engaging commentary that will encourage discussion.
Josef Albers was a leading pioneer of 20th-century Modernism, best known for his Homages to the Square paintings, and his publication Interaction of Color. Albers was a teacher, a writer, a painter, a theorist, and, in this groundbreaking book, his influential art is used to teach shapes, one of the most important concepts for young children to learn.
