F M E 5 1962 — Fine Art

Square colour blocks sit beside each other in F M E 5 1962. The eye moves from one flat band to the next. Empty space sits between them, so the picture stays open. Josef Albers built this kind of colour study in layered papers, letting each hue sit on its own.

This is a fine art print set in a frame, with a back panel. The printing keeps the flat colour bands even, and the frame holds the sheet flat against the wall. You see the clean edges of each colour block without glare.

It sits on a dining room wall where the room light stays soft in the evening. From the table you notice the colour bands reading one after another, and the frame keeping the sheet steady.
