Furthermore, Jameson explains that Lee's own understanding of additive and subtractive color mixtures is flawed. [52] Value on the art market [ edit ] At Bauhaus, Albers taught a basic design course to new students. In addition to his work in glass and metal, he also designed furniture and typography. He’d also produced a vast and growing series of artworks that would land him squarely among the giants of modernism.
