CMYKG is a collectable series of limited edition prints and serigraphs inspired by the collective genius of Bauhaus titan Josef Albers, in concert with his mid-century modernist contemporaries Sol LeWitt, Paul Rand, and Saul Bass who followed Albers’ lead to create an incomparable American design movement in interior, product, graphic design and architecture popular in the US during the post–World War II period from 1945 to 1969. 

In addition, Hess’s CMYKG compositions represent a retrospective celebration of lithography’s CMYK color model traditionally used in four-color process printing over the past century.  CMYK refers to the four distinct ink plates made up of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black).  The artist has added a rich warm gray G to the original foursome to create a fifth layer of sensuous, high-contrast graphic interaction.  Individual numbered prints and their respective quadriptych arrangements are available in three sizes:  nine by nine, eighteen by eighteen, and magnificent 36 x 36 inch squares on bright white, acid free, 100% cotton Entrada Rag.
