JOSEF ALBERS (1888-1976) Was a German-born American artist and educator who is considered one of the most influential 20th-century art teachers and artists in the United States. Born in Bottrop, Westphalia, Germany, into a Roman Catholic family with a background in craftsmanship, Albers received practical training in diverse skills like engraving glass, plumbing, and wiring during his childhood. He later worked as a schoolteacher from 1908 to 1913 and received his first public commission in 1918 and moved to Munich in 1919, and later relocated to the United States.
