…in design (of websites, or home decor, or clothing) having the most sophisticated of everything usually leads to poor results. Elegance is frigid.
Good taste in these involves the right measure of unsophistication. Less exactitude is more joyous, less neurotic, but still refined.
This neatly sums up my feelings about the work of my favourite artists, writers, musicians and photographers.
Enough order to arrest the eye or ear. Enough chaos to feed the heart and mind.
