[MD] static/pure

[Ant McWatt]

Marsha V asked DMB April 11th 2013:

dmb,

Perhaps static patterns of value are "relatively" static like James's pure experience is "relatively" pure? 


Ant McWatt comments:

Perhaps it would be better to think of static patterns (i.e. patterned quality) as relating to anything that can described with words while Dynamic Quality (i.e. Unpatterned Quality) relates to what is known (such as love and beauty) but beyond words (so - to borrow one of Northrop's suggestions - DQ is best represented by fine Art - the less representational, the better - Northrop was especially thinking of the large use of white space in traditional Japanese Art of mountain scenery).

So, if you want to have a better grasp of DQ, visit your local (Fine) Art gallery!

Best wishes,

Ant
