In his Intuitive Composition Book published in 1988, Albert refers to Dynamic Symmetry, describing the theory as important but impractical. It's interesting to see how this Master Artist designs his paintings, intuitively aligning with Dynamic Symmetry, which is based on mathematical principles of similar rectangles and rebated squares.

The waterfall aligns with a main diagonal.
The top of the waterfall aligns with the dotted diagonal of a rebated square. Can you see this? What else do you see?
Other points of interest:
