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

One line plus one line results in many meanings.

To design is to plan and to or...

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.

It's the only dish I serve my craziness for color in.

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Art is revelation instead of information, expression instead of description, creation instead of imitation or repetition. Art is concerned with the HOW, not the WHAT; not with literal content, but with the performance of the factual content. The performance - how it is done - that is the content of art.

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

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

Color is like cooking. The cook puts in more or less salt, that's the difference!

Josef Albers 88 quotes

Simultaneous contrast is not j...

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon Ђ' 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.

Easy-to know that diamonds-are precious, Good-to learn that rubies-have depth, But more-to see that pebbles-are miraculous.

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.

I paint the way I spread butter on pumpernickel.

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

I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.

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.
