NOTES
This screenprint, which belongs to Anni Albers’ Triadic Series, utilizes a single geometric shape—the triangle—as the basis for the composition. Albers wanted to find ways to build complex artworks using as few variables as possible. At first glance her prints may appear to be systematically organized arrangements of triangles; however, Albers often introduced internal inconsistencies and irregularities. Her goal was to create “order in a not too obvious way, an order puzzling to the onlooker, so that he will return again and again."
