Book excerpt: Josef Albers: no tricks, no twinkling of the eyes presents a reading of Albers' practice through the lens of contemporary artists, writers and art historians, who negotiate the relevance of both his educational and artistic legacy today.Selections of Albers' own writing are dispersed throughout the book, offering a rich glance into his dedication to pedagogy and art, and the pioneering ideas that still resonate with contemporary art practitioners.Richly illustrated, the publication spans Albers' production over sixty years and highlight the dexterity of Albers' practice and not least his commitment to creating complex perceptual and spatial experiences through deceivingly simple compositions of colors and lines.The design of the book by Jeanne Betak has been conceived with great consideration to both the material and visual flow, following Albers' own love of materiality and typography.
