Josef Albers, Black Mountain, N.C. sends New Year’s Greeting to Marcel Breuer, Cambridge, Mass., 1938/1939.

The postcard is a commercial color photograph of “The Loop,” a section of winding road near Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Over the existing image Albers has stencilled in paint, “a good ‘39.” The “3″ in 39 is formed by the road.
