Good Quotes: Josef Albers

100208albers.jpg"It should be clear by now that our way of studying color does not start with the past - neither with works of the past nor with its theories.

As we begin principally with the material, color itself, and its action and interaction as registered in our minds, we practice first and mainly a study of ourselves.

Thus, we replace looking backward by looking first at ourselves and our surroundings, and replace retrospection with introspection."

I remember doing quite possibly 200 or more Color combination the Josef Albers way in color theory. I love the fact that you can basically have any color combination as long as the hues are correctly adjusted. Balance too was a great thing that Josef explained. I hope everyone gets the chance to read some of his theory's.
