Specialist note
'When I paint
I think and see
first and most - color
but color as motion
Color not only accompanying
form of lateral extension
and after being moved
remaining arrested
But of perpetual inner movement
as aggression - to and from the spectator
besides interaction and interdependence
with shape and hue and light
Color in a direct and frontal focus
and when closely felt
as a breathing and pulsating
- from within'
(Josef Albers, Soft Edge-Hard Edge, 1965.)
