More quotes by Josef Albers
When we were in the seminary we got a stipend direct from the government and for that stipend we had an obligation to stick to our teaching job for five years.
Josef Albers
A thing is never seen as it really is.
Josef Albers
Color deceives continuously.
Josef Albers
Therefore art means: you have to believe, to have faith, that is, cultivate vision.
Josef Albers
Just as the unmusical ear is not competent to judge music, so it is likewise with pictures, whether they are paintings, drawings or photos. Only a sensitive and trained eye gives us the right to judge.
Josef Albers

Josef Albers

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

Josef Albers
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.
Josef Albers
What has been said does not simply belong to us.
Josef Albers
I paint the way I spread butter on pumpernickel.
Josef Albers
Art is concerned with the HOW and not the WHAT.
Josef Albers
In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.
Josef Albers
A painter paints because he has no time not to paint.
Josef Albers
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.
Josef Albers
I think Kandinsky and I were very near friends.
