Notes on Color - Albers 1

From Josef Albers “Interaction of Color”

• This bright study is more or less self-explanatory. (120)

• Indirectly, this also explains the mixture in the middle. (118)

• The inner smaller violets are / factually alike. (80)

• Although it is not common practice, one can also speak of intervals between colors. (34)

• All of this results in a subtle change in posture. (168)

• For another reading of such illusionary vibration, one can recall auras and halos. (184)

• 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. (52)

• It should be mentioned that samples of a real middle grey are hardest to find. (82)

• Naturally, practice is not preceded but followed by theory. (68)
