Color: Geometric Variations/ Prints of Sheldon Berlyn

January 7, 2015

This exhibition featured a selection of prints by Sheldon Berlyn influenced by the principles of color theory in the work of artists Johannes Itten and Joseph Albers. During a productive period between 1970 and 1980, Berlyn experimented with color and geometric shapes. Using rectilinear shapes, Berlyn’s choice of hue, intensity and value produced illusions of projecting and receding planes.
