问题 Michelangelo on Marriage
A priest, his friend, said to him: "It is a pity that you have not taken a wife, so that you might have had many children and left them all your honorable labours." And Michelangelo replied: "I have only too much of a wife in this art of mine, who has always kept me in tribulation, and my children shall be the works that I may leave, which, even if they are naught, will live a while."
[Vasari, Lives, 1568.]
Josef Albers (1888—1976)
Albers lived in America nearly half of his long life and taught a whole generation of American painters. Yet his work remained strongly European in its "relational" qualities and, even though he used a "centered image", the way he placed the bottom edges of the squares closer together created effects quite different from the symmetrical 1960s work of Stella and Judd. Albers applied his paint with a palette knife and deliberately left the edges rough, with a tooth for the interacting colours to bite on one another. He never used masking tape and his works are not hard edged (except in reproduction). The largest paintings are about three feet square; small by American standards. The values they affirm are not American values but European.
[From the book Josef Albers: A Retrospective, Guggenheim-Abrams.]
