Description:
Celebrating the prints two influential modernists made in collaboration with master printer Kenneth E Tyler
This publication explores the pioneering postwar prints of Anni and Josef Albers and their impact on a generation of artistic practitioners. Original contributions by leading art historians explore the influence of the Bauhaus on the long and significant careers of both artists and how their connection to the experimental school brought their work and ideas to Australia through collaboration with creatives including artist Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, architect Harry Seidler, and master printer and philanthropist Kenneth E Tyler.
The book includes previously unpublished material from the Kenneth E Tyler archive, including images, studies for prints, and phone transcripts that elucidate the close working relationship between the three collaborators. The artists' varied sources of inspiration--from pre-Columbian textiles to Bauhaus applied arts--are exquisitely reproduced, showcasing the depth and evolution of these innovative prints.
