Josef and Anni Albers, ca. 1935

just checked a ton of books out of the library on anni albers, wife of bauhaus' infamous josef albers. she's an expert weaver, designer, and all around incredible artist. this couple is such a great inspiration!

ill post photos soon from the books, but here are some images of her work from the albers foundation's website. together they made over 4000 works! makes me wish i'd stayed in morocco to learn to weave....
