“In Albers’s paintings there is very much a simple, suitable and natural wholeness to the arrangement of squares within squares, which is one of the best ideas in the world, one which provided enormous vitality and complexity. This arrangement is easily at one with the color. It’s amazing that it so quietly produces such brilliance.”

Nei dipinti di Albers è fortemente presente una semplice, appropriata e naturale integrità alla disposizione di quadrati all'interno di quadrati, che è una delle idee migliori al mondo, un’idea che ha portato un'enorme vitalità e complessità. Questa disposizione è facilmente un tutt’uno con il colore. È sorprendente che in maniera così pacata produca così tanta magnificenza.
