Anuszkiewicz was a student of Josef Albers at Yale, where he studied color theory based on that taught at the Bauhaus—a German school of art, architecture, and design—as well as more recent psychological studies on visual perception. Synthesizing these lessons, Anuszkiewicz began to focus on color interaction within hard-edged geometric compositions and linear patterns. In this work, the eye combines pure colors that are adjacent to one another, so that the yellow-green, blue-green, and blue lines that form a grid of six squares create an illusion of overlapping diamonds.
