Hi Clive
Thank you for your response and interest in Gestalt.

Quoted text begins.Especially the idea that it is useful IN MAKING MEANING to closely consider
the OBVIOUS. The fact that Art has not dared to consider the obvious may
easily be one of its current problems.

Quoted text begins.The problem is how do we get a sound general understanding of it
{Gestalt] without having to read the almost unintelligible formal writings.

This is truly funny, Clive! and true!!! I know quite well the
density of Gestalt writings - and my students' frustrations with my
reading assignments :o) !! The theory as written so far is a bit of
a boner, I admit.

I am eager to respond to your thoughts and will do so. My bags are
packed and I am out the door for a 4-day trip. This will give me
good time to chew over some of this. Then I will be back to you.
I do feel (through my experiences) that Gestalt does offer some
insightful avenues on the art road, and want to offer a few. I'll
pick this up at the end of the week.
Best regards,
Oscar
