Forward by Kenneth Tyler, essay by Henry T. Hopkins. Text by Josef Albers, "Here the white lines are placed within the usual scheme of "Homage to the Square" which normally permits up to four colors . In this series only three colors are used because the insertion of the white line creates the illusion of a fourth shade and therefore preserves the structural subdivision."
