“The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests
me more than what he makes, because I’ve noticed that most artists only
repeat themselves.”

“When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no
collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all
had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the
same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which
condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to
discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life
are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root
and grow. We must all hope we find them.”

“The word LOVE got to be the way it is because I have a kind of a passion about symmetry and the dividing of things into equal parts. The word LOVE is that way because those four letters best fit a square if the square is squared by that particular arrangement. And it was really that sort of a necessity for a very compact form that I came upon that arrangement…With the red, blue and green paintings the interaction in the eye is of such a nature that with the slightest change of light the fields automatically interchange, the positive becomes negative and vice versa, with almost a violent effect in the eye.”
LOVE, 1966 by Robert Indiana

“It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.”
Date Issued: 1980-09-12 Homage to the Square: Glow postage stamp by Josef Albers.
This stamp commemorated American education and the early establishment of the U.S. Department of Education. The design of this stamp is taken from a painting by Josef Albers, a German -born artist who contributed much to modern art through his investigation of color and light perception. Albers came to the United States in 1933 to teach at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. He later taught at Yale. The culmination of Albers’ artistic development is seen in his famous Homage to the Square series, on which he worked from 1949 until his death in 1976.
