The Work of Art

MEASURE & BEAUTY

Contrary to what a critic might say, you need no degree in art, either to measure or to make beauty.

ARTS & MEASURE:
NUMBER, PROPORTION, BEAUTY

The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science.

– Albert Einstein (quoted in The Golden Ratio, by Mario Livio)

In order to talk about art, we need to examine our terms and assumptions, to establish a common language by which to build understanding. That requires common experience. Otherwise, confusion reigns.
