"I see / That art essentially is purpose / and seeing [...] that form demands / multiple presentation / manifold performance. [...] / In my own work / I am content to compete / with myself / and to search with simple palette / and with simple color / for manifold instrumentation."
- Josef Albers; in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Josef Albers: Homage to the square, presented at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) of New York,with an introduction by Kynaston L. McShine, 1964.
