Although they never met, both artists worked in series as they explored difference and potential through their distinctive treatment of color, shape, form, and morphology. They were also both influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists and experts in proportion, they tackled similar conceits from different perspectives. Albers focused on the effects of subtle or bold changes and interactions in color, while Morandi made still lifes that treat simple objects as a cast of characters on a stage, exploring their relationship in space. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published on the occasion of the critically acclaimed exhibition \u003ci\u003eAlbers and Morandi: Never Finished \u003c\/i\u003eat David Zwirner New York in 2021, the book illuminates the visual conversation between these two artists.
