The influential art of Josef Albers is used to teach shapes in this stylish read-aloud board book.

Takes children through Albers’ range of geometrics, one artwork per page, beginning with squares and returning to them as a familiar refrain throughout.

The variance of colour, scale, and quantity adds to the richness of the visual arc, and the accompanying text provides a humorous and engaging commentary.

Readers will not only learn their shapes, but also grow familiar with fine art in this second title in the ‘First Concepts with Fine Artists’ series.

Includes a read-aloud ‘about the artist’ at the end.

Josef Albers

Josef Albers was a leading pioneer of 20th-century modernism, best known for his Homages to the Square paintings, and his publication Interaction of Color.

Albers was a teacher, a writer, a painter, a colour theorist, and the first living artist to have a solo retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (in 1971).
