After studying painting at a traditional art school, Albers entered the Bauhaus in 1920 as an older student, and the school"s progressive educational ideas served as a catalyst for his creative development. After his first six-month term, Albers disregarded the required class for wall painting, preferring to work in the glass workshop. While there he created colorful, nonobjective glass assemblages that he called "wall glass paintings" because they were "made of opaque glass which is neither transparent nor translucent." These early experiments in glass preface his modernist paintings based on color studies that preoccupied him for much of his later career.
