'I know my interest in color comes from handling color for years... I like to believe that in playing with color combinations I came across a promising accident (as happens sometimes) and I did not overlook it but tried to articulate it... I’ll continue as long as I am able. Not because of the squares but because there is no end with color' (J. Albers, quoted in J.H. Holloway and J.A. Weil, ‘A Conversation with Josef Albers’, in Leonardo, vol. 3, no. 4, October 1970, pp. 462-463).
