Editor: This is a photograph of glass paintings by Josef Albers. The sharp lines and high contrast give it such a modern, graphic feel. What do you make of Albers' use of geometric shapes here? Curator: It's interesting, isn't it? Albers was deeply fascinated by the interplay of form and space. These sandblasted glass paintings, captured in photographs, feel like architectural blueprints, perhaps even musical scores. Do you sense a rhythm in the repetition? Editor: I do, now that you mention it. It almost feels like I can hear the clinking of glass. Thanks, that makes me appreciate it much more! Curator: It's a pleasure. Art whispers when we listen closely, right?
