Joseph Albers was a member of the Bauhaus in Germany from 1920 until 1933. First, a student, then as a teacher. Albers’ tenure at the school was longer than any other artist of this pioneering school of art. In 1933 he came to the United States, where he taught at Black Mountain College for sixteen years.

In 1950 he was appointed chair of the department of design at the Yale University School of Art. His contribution to color theory through his research is principle to most pedagogy. Albers was the first living artist to have a major solo retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
