REPRESENTATION IN FORMS OF DESIGN

13. It sometimes happens that we have the Truth of Representation in a

form of Pure Design or Pure Design combined with Representation. In

Poetry we have the meaning of the words in the measures of the verse.

So in Representation it is sometimes possible to achieve the Truth in

forms of Harmony, Balance, and Rhythm. In such cases the appeal is

simultaneously to the love of Knowledge and to the sense of Order and

of Beauty, so that we have an æsthetic pleasure in the statement of the

Truth.

In this book I shall explain what I mean by Drawing and Painting

in Pure Design. Later, I hope to write another book on Design in

Representation.
