Probably this is one of the main reasons that 60s modernism dispensed with all notions of « composition, » because of the deadly way in which « arrangement » smothers any interest in the presented object in favor of a banal pleasure based on recurrence phenomena or else treats it to the red carpet presentation of a « little king. »
They reasoned quite correctly that if there are pieces there is arrangement, and all arrangements, no matter how « random, » are apprehended as some kind of order, because randomness is conceivable but not perceivable. Personally I share this distaste for ideas of arrangement and I don’t think anyone can be very interested in doing collage work now, mainly because of the predictability of its effect.
