I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.

I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.

We never really perceive what color really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon – it is the very heart of painting. Repeated experiments with adjacent colors will show that any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.

To design is to plan and to organize, to order, to relate and to control. In short it embraces all means of opposing disorder and accident. Therefore it signifies a human need and qualifies man’s thinking and doing.

I think Kandinsky and I were very near friends.
