The first thing I recognize in Albers' work is the the use of color. One photo from the video is the one with blue boxes. The usage of different shades of blue creates a monochromatic scheme. Another photo that I saw in the video that stood out to me is the piece with an analogous and monochromatic scheme, as well as mixtures of tertiary and neutral colors. One of my favorite pieces is the one with black lines that zig-zag and cause your eyes to move very fast over the photo. He uses lots of lines in his pieces. The lines curve and/or cross and this creates movement. Albers also uses lots of shapes such as squares, circles, and rectangles in his work. But the most prominent thing about Albers' work is his use of color. Overall, color is one of the main ideas in his pieces.
