Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange III
<p>Stein followed her mentor Josef Albers in experimenting with color grids. In this sophisticated example, one of a series of 12, the colors were created from the mixing of warps and wefts, two colors at a time from a total of five. The properties inherent in damask, in which the same colors (or combination of colors) appear different when warp-faced and weft-faced, allowed Stein to seemingly double the number of hues in her palette.</p>
