Lyonel was a composer, a photographer, and an artist. For a living, he drew caricatures and comic strips, and he taught at Bauhaus. Planes of light framed a small brown house in Gaberndorf, Weimar, Germany, as though it weren’t anything special, and Lyonel was the one to notice.

Josef paired visual elements to their minimum. Simple nested squares with subdued colors showed how much colored squares could do.
