And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything. - Josef Albers Quotes
Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences. - Josef Albers Quotes
Apprentice is the beginner - the first years you work in a craft in the European sense you are an apprentice. That takes 3 or 4 years. Then you are a journeyman. You can go from one master to another and learn other tricks and other secrets. - Josef Albers Quotes

Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see. - Josef Albers Quotes
It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today its energy. Its the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see. - Josef Albers Quotes
