Repeat and Reverse

In the 1920's, Josef Albers was a student and instructor at the Bauhaus, a progressive school of design. One of the many things that he began to explore was the relationship between perception and geometry. In 1963, Albers created "Repeat and Reverse" for the front façade of the Yale School of Art and Architecture building. It is stainless steel bars meant to reproduce a line drawing of an optical illusion.
