Formulation: Articulation
Thank Youto all the departments that
contributed to my project this summer.
I couldn’t have done it without you.
Josef AlbersArt in its very nature is new in formulation,
articulation, though constant in its task to reveal and to arouse emotion. All real art is or was modern in its time, daring and new, demonstrating a constant change in seeing and feeling. If revival had been a perpetual virtue, we still would live in cave and earth pits.
In art, tradition is to create, not to revive.
(J A from “Present and/or Past,” printed in Design, 1946.)
