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 geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
