Woodcut on Japanese nacre kozo paper. Signed in pencil and dated 44 (lower right). Titled Astatic and numbered (lower left). Published by the artist. Image: 33.7 × 22.9 cm. Paper: 44.5 × 28.3 cm. Josef Albers’ Astatic (Danilowitz 116) (1944) is a woodcut on Japanese nacre kozo paper that explores geometric precision and optical tension. A chain-like formation of angular, faceted shapes appears to hover against a richly textured, woodgrain background, creating a dynamic interplay between figure and ground. The stark contrast between the crisp white forms and the dark surface enhances a sense of movement and instability, despite the composition’s careful balance. Published by the artist and produced in a limited edition, the work reflects Albers’ early investigations into perception, structure, and visual rhythm.

What is Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
