Today we no longer regard the...

Today we no longer regard the universe as the cause of our own undeserved troubles but perhaps, on the contrary, as the last refuge from the mismanagement of our earthly affairs.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

It would be most wholesome if...

It would be most wholesome if for at least twenty years art historians were forbidden to refer to any derivations. If they were not allowed to account for a work of art mainly by tracing where it comes from, they would have to deal with it in and by itself--which is what they are most needed for.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Once it is recognized that pr...

Once it is recognized that productive thinking in any area of cognition is perceptual thinking, the central function of art in general education will become evident.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

The foreign accent was a prom...

The foreign accent was a promise, and indeed, all over the country, European imports added spice to the sciences, the arts, and other areas. What one had to give was not considered inferior to what one received.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

The rehabilitation of order a...

The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

All perceiving is also thinki...

All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

The line that describes the b...

The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

The arts, as a reflection of ...

The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Rather than be asked to aband...

Rather than be asked to abandon one's own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

A system is in equilibrium wh...

A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Entropy theory is indeed a fi...

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Man's striving for order, of ...

Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Modem science, then, maintain...

Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man's actions are governed by the same tendency.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Entropy theory, on the other ...

Entropy theory, on the other hand, is not concerned with the probability of succession in a series of items but with the overall distribution of kinds of items in a given arrangement.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

When a system is considered i...

When a system is considered in two different states, the difference in volume or in any other property, between the two states, depends solely upon those states themselves and not upon the manner in which the system may pass from one state to the other.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Variety is more than a means of avoiding boredom, since art is more than an entertainment of the senses.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

In many instances, order is a...

In many instances, order is apprehended first of all by the senses.

Rudolf Arnheim 87 quotes

Furthermore, order is a neces...

Furthermore, order is a necessary condition for making a structure function. A physical mechanism, be it a team of laborers, the body of an animal, or a machine, can work only if it is in physical order.
