His role: Dr. Josef Mengele, Hitler's SS physician in the movie version of Ira Levin's bestseller The Boys from Brazil.

Albers is well known for his squares within squares and his subtle tonal differentiation from square to square.

Again using subtle coloring and precise geometric figures...

Rauschenberg had read a TIME article about the pioneer abstractionist Josef Albers, the veteran of the Bauhaus who was teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina.
