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.
From Josef Albers
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 it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.
Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.
I prefer to see with closed eyes.
I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.
I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.
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.
Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.
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.
Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.
