Quotes

• “Every perception of colour is an illusion.. ..we do not see colours as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.”
• “The concern of the artist is with the discrepancy between physical fact and psychological effect.”
• “I want color and form to have contradictorily functions.”
• “For me, abstraction is real, probably more real than nature. I'll go further and say that abstraction is nearer my heart. I prefer to see with closed eyes.”
• “In order to use color effectively it is necessary to recognize that color deceives continually.”
• “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.”
