| "The common denominator of artistic expression is the ordering of a vision into a consistent complete form. The difference between a mere expression - however intense and revealing - and an artistic image of that expression lies in the structure of the form." Georgy Kepes 1906-2001 from THE ARTIST'S DESIGN: Probing the Hidden Order by Marie MacDonnell Roberts |
