'Pour moi, un triangle a un visage. Un carré, un cercle - n'importe quelle forme élémentaire - possède des traits et par conséquent une allure. Ils agissent et provoquent nos réactions, de la même manière que les formes complexes, visage humain ou figure, le font.'

Josef Albers (cité in E. de Kooning, "Albers Paints a Picture", Art News, novembre 1950, No. 49, p. 40)
