User:LBattich/Joseph Albers on Colour
From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki
- “It seemed I was seeking a way to put paint in the service of art while freeing it from the harness of depiction or narration. To let color be its own narrative through its combination and by the palpability of painted fields.” Frederick Spratt, Trooping the Colors (Santa Clara: Triton Museum of Art, 2004) p. 8.
- "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."
- "In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually. To this end, the beginning is not a study of color systems.
- "First, it should be learned that one and the same color evokes innumerable readings. Instead of mechanically applying or merely implying laws and rules of color harmony, distinct color effects are produced-through recognition of the interaction of color-by making, for instance, two very different colors look alike, or nearly alike."
