6 and 3 1931 — Fine Art

6 and 3 1931 by Josef Albers shows a plain colour field split into two stacked rectangles. The upper block holds a warm red, the lower one a green tone set on a pale paper ground. From across the hall the two shapes sit apart.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. Up close the edges stay sharp and the paper grain stays soft. Josef Albers worked in the Bauhaus style and the geometric painting approach. The print hangs on a pale wall at shoulder height near a steady lamp.

The light keeps the red flat and the green stays dull. You see the two blocks at a glance, then the paper texture when you stand near. The frame finish can follow the room, a dark frame on a pale wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.
