ABSTRACT
One of the most important forms of recurrence is the repetition and fluctuation of the Ideational, the Sensate, the Idealistic, and other mixed styles in all their varieties and with all their secondary characteristics. It is important because, it makes comprehensible many essential traits of a given art in a given period, which otherwise would appear as meaninglessmembra disjecta. It is important also from the standpoint of the mentality incorporated in a given art. In their pristine nature, the Ideational and the Visual styles, from the standpoint of the mentality which they represent and the purposes and forms of depicting objects, are directly opposite and as different as can be. Though the Impure forms of the Ideational and of the Visual are in fact mixed styles, the preponderance of the elements of one permits us to classify such renderings with the dominant style.
