Description


Ultra Fractal 5.04 Josef Albers left his teaching post at Black Mountain College in 1949 and became visiting professor at the Cincinnati Art Academy and at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He also began the "Structural Constellations" series of geometric drawings. Without going into the processes used, these - for my purposes- are effectively white drawings on a black background. The one I elected to copy in UF was "Structural Constellation F-32" from 1954 as it contains a distinct dynamic feeling. In my modification here shown I have replaced his two dark greyish rectangles with ovals and the intention is to replace the dynamism with a sense of actual instability as the two (slippery) ovals each is in danger of breaking away from the steadying restraint of the other. That diagonal line in the centre is expressive of the contending forces - or such is my reading. Cliff.

The diagonal is not parallel to the major ellipse axes; it makes the image so dynamic!
