Imogen Dixon-Smith on Anni Albers

Duration: 45 min including Q&A

Join Imogen Dixon-Smith, Kenneth E. Tyler Curator, International Prints and Drawing, for a talk focused on the life and work of German-American printmaker and textile artist, Anni Albers. In this talk Imogen will delve into the two greatest influences on Albers’ artmaking, the Bauhaus school and pre-Columbian textiles. She will illuminate how Albers redefined textile art for the modern age and applied this experimental spirit to her printmaking practice, working across a number of techniques to create prints that vibrate with joyous energy.
