Homage to the Square: "Festive", 1967
The repetitive nature of Homage to the Square is related to Albers's belief that "there is no end to color." The repetitive form allowed Albers to change one element of the piece in order to see how it impacted the greater artwork. This was done in order to see the psychic effects of color and form. One example of the effect of the juxtaposition of the squares was the dimension it forced upon the paintings. Certain combinations of colors would create the effect of making squares seem like they are coming outward instead of inward.
The colors interact with each other when processed by the human eye in ways that continually change their effects on each other. Albers demonstrated with this series that colors are not absolute in value—producing one “visual truth”—but instead are changeable.
