Modem Science, Then, Maintains On The One

Form Is Sometimes Considered A Mere Spice Added By The Artist To The Representation Of Objects In Order To Make It Pleasurable.

When The Thing Observed... Is Seen As An Agglomeration Of Pieces, The Details Lose Their Meaning And The Whole Becomes Unrecognizable. This Is Often True Of Snapshots In Which No Pattern Of Salient Shapes Organizes The Mass Of Vague And Complex Nuances.

Both Art And Science Are Bent On The Understanding Of The Forces That Shape Existence, And Both Call For A Dedication To What Is. Neither Of Them Can Tolerate Capricious Subjectivity Because Both Are Subject To Their Criteria Of Truth. Both Require Precision, Order, And Discipline Because No Comprehensible Statement Can Be Made Without These. Both Accept The Sensory World As What The Middle Ages Called Signatura Regrum, The Signature Of Things, But In Quite Different Ways.

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.

Art Is Continually Working To Take The Crust Of Familiarity Off Everyday Objects.
