More quotes by Josef Albers
When we are honest - that's my saying - if we are honest then we will reveal ourselves. But we do not have to make an effort to be individualistic, different from others.
Josef Albers
Therefore art means: you have to believe, to have faith, that is, cultivate vision.
Josef Albers
Independent of harmony rules, any color 'goes' or 'works' with any other color, presupposing that their quantities are appropriate.
Josef Albers
Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.
Josef Albers
It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.
Josef Albers
I think Kandinsky and I were very near friends.
Josef Albers
Whether something 'has color' or not is as hard to define verbally as are such questions as, 'What is music?' or 'What is musical?
Josef Albers
Traditionally art is to create and not to revive. To revive: leave that to the historians, who are looking backward.
Josef Albers
I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.
Josef Albers
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
I prefer to see with closed eyes.
Josef Albers
The aim of art is a constant, and a continuous job to reveal visually the attitude of our mentality. And the less we disturb the influence of our mentality the more I believe we come close to the truth.
Josef Albers
A thing is never seen as it really is.
Josef Albers
I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.
Josef Albers
Color deceives continuously.
Josef Albers
Art is concerned with the HOW and not the WHAT.
Josef Albers
And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
Josef Albers
If you don't do it my way, I suggest you commit suicide.
Josef Albers
There is no difference between science and art when it comes to creativeness, productiveness, to come to conclusions and to formulations.
Josef Albers
The role of art for me is the visualization of attitude, of the human attitude towards life, towards the world.
Josef Albers
