Interaction of Color

 

Interaction of Color

“This is the same color, in the grid, exactly the same ink.

Hard to believe but because of the neighboring colors,

the background, it looks different and Josef would apply

this perception to his observations of people. He might say,

I look one way on my own but with my family members you

would see me differently – either like them or unlike them but

we always see things in relation to something else.”
