“The development of the doctrine of international arbitration, considered from the standpoint of its ultimate benefits to the human race, is the most vital movement of modern times.

“If modern design moved the stage picture away from the specific, tangible, illusionistic world of Romanticism and Realism into a generalized, theatrical, and poetic realm in which the pictorial image functioned as an extension of the playwright's themes and structures (a metanarrative), then postmodern design is a dissonant reminder that no single point of view can predominate, even within a single image.” IfsWorldViewsModernStageDesignMovedStructurePoint Of ViewRealmsThemePoeticRealismExtensionsRemindersPlaywrightTangibleTheatricalRomanticismPostmodernPictorial Book:Looking Into the Abyss: Essays on Scenography Source: Looking Into the Abyss: Essays on Scenography

“The main theme to emerge... is that there appear to be two modes of thinking, verbal and nonverbal, represented rather separately in left and right hemispheres respectively and that our education system, as well as science in general, tends to neglect the nonverbal form of intellect.
