The Power of the Center

"Speaking generally one can assert that every visual field comprises a number of centers, each of which tries to draw the others into subservience. The self of the viewer is just one of those centers. The overall balance of all these competing aspirations determines the structure of the whole, and that total structure is organized around what I will call the balancing center." Rudolf Arnheim, The Power of the Center, 1982
