ABSTRACT
We have seen that mere patches of colour, of no significant shape, may be in themselves highly pleasing. For full aesthetic enjoyment, however, it is not enough, of course, that the eye should be stimulated by beautiful colours. The beauty of form and of composition must be added too, just as pleasing musical tones and chords must be arranged into various rhythms and orders if the highest beauty
of music is to be realized. Further, shape and form may be found pleasing apart from colour - indeed, with the very minimum of material, such as plain black lines on a white background, just as, again, we may find pleasure in rhythms made by the mere tapping of a pencil on a table.
