I have taught my students not to apply rules or mechanical ways of seeing.

In visual perception a color ...

In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is - as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

The role of art for me is the visualization of attitude, of the human attitude towards life, towards the world.

Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.

I do not like to be a prophet. I like better to paint than to predict what the next painters will do. Though I have a feeling that consideration of order is very much in the air.

There is no difference between science and art when it comes to creativeness, productiveness, to come to conclusions and to formulations.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

I start from experience and read. . .always between polarities - loud and not-loud, young and old, spring and winter. If I can make black and white behave together instead of shooting at each other only, I feel proud.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Simultaneous contrast is not ...

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon – it is the very heart of painting. Repeated experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Learn to see and to feel life...

Learn to see and to feel life; that is, cultivate imagination, because there are still marvels in the world, because life is a mystery and always will be. But be aware of it.

Color deceives continuously.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

I think art parallels life; it is not a report on nature or on intimate disclosure of inner secrets. Color, in my opinion, behaves like man -- in two distinct ways: first in self-realization and then in the realization of relationships with others.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Every perception of color is ...

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

To design is to plan and to o...

To design is to plan and to organize, to order, to relate and to control. In short it embraces all means of opposing disorder and accident. Therefore it signifies a human need and qualifies man’s thinking and doing.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Independent of harmony rules,...

Independent of harmony rules, any color 'goes' or 'works' with any other color, presupposing that their quantities are appropriate.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

If one says “Red” (the name o...

If one says “Red” (the name of a color) and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.

We never really perceive what color really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

As we do not see squares in nature, I thought that it is man-made. But I have corrected myself. Because squares exist in salt crystals, our daily salt.

One line plus one line results in many meanings.
