Rudolf Arnheim Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The clarification of visual forms and their organization in integrated patterns as well as the attribution of such forms to suitable objects is one of the most effective training grounds of the young mind Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The principle of parsimony is valid esthetically in that the artist must not go beyond what is needed for his purpose Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination Picture Quote #1

Climbing is a heroic liberating act; and height spontaneously symbolizes things of high value, be it in the value of worldly power or of spirituality. To rise in an elevator, balloon, or airplane is to experience being liberated from weight, sublimated, invested with superhuman abilities. In addition, to rise from the earth is to approach the realm of light and overview. Therefore the negative overcoming of weight is at the same time the positive achievement of enlightenment and an unobstructed outlook Picture Quote #1

The arts are neglected because they are based on perception, and perception is disdained because it is not assumed to involve thought Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon Picture Quote #1

Form is sometimes considered a mere spice added by the artist to the representation of objects in order to make it pleasurable Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
