專家說明

'I have not built any theory. I have only tried to build up sensitive eyes, as my book says. And I have tried to achieve that by aiming at very distinct colour relationships again - like how do they influence each other? Change each other in light and in intensity, in transparency, opacity? How do they change each other in all different directions?...And in the end, the study of colour again is a study of ourselves. And to anyone today who tries to predict to me what two colors will do, I will say "Please stop. I do not trust you. Because anyone who predicts the effect of colours proves that he has no experience with colour. Colour is fooling us, cheating us, deceiving us - you can call it if you want - all the time." (J. Albers, quoted in S. Fesci, Oral History Interview with Josef Albers, 1968, https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews/oral-history-interview-josef-albers-11847 [accessed 17th April 2014]).
