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 鲁道夫·阿恩海姆

人类对秩序的追求,艺术只是秩序的一种表现形式,这种追求源于整个有机世界的一种类似的普遍倾向;与之并行的,或许还源自于对物理系统中最简单结构状态的追求。
