I like Robert Mangold‘s work. One day ダン蔵 told me that Mangold was a student of Albers. I was surprised by it, but soon after this, I understood that using the colors of Mangold is influenced by Albers.
ダン蔵 Denied it. He said Mangold is not influenced by Albers.
ダン蔵は否定します。マンゴールドはアルバースの影響を受けていない。と。
When I was in my 22, I attended a week-long lecture/workshop at ダン蔵, so I am a student of ダン蔵. His lecture was amazing. And I got the blow. It was like an earthquake,e and a tsunami came to me same time. However, I think my art itself never influenced by him.
