"In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is--as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art. In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually."
(Albers quoted in F.A. Horowitz and B. Danilowitz, Josef Albers: To Open Eyes. The Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale, New York 2006, p. 195)
