Adventures in Form Values

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Josef Albers, formerly of the Bauhaus in Vienna, has been experimenting with the theory that a scale of design, similar in many ways to the musical scale, can be developed. A collection of his experimental drawings may be seen at the Fine Arts Guild in an exhibition entitled "Adventures in From Values."

Albers believes that certain fundamental designs, or combinations of geometric figures, are pleasing to the eye just as a musical chord is to the ear, and that a discord in design is as definite as one in music.

He is now teaching in Black Mountain Progressive College, were the entire student body is required to take his course.
