A coherent vision
"Coherence" and "vision"...
I like these words...
Nowadays, most people don't have a vision...
...it's all relativism, now....
We need some principles.....
...relativism is bad for art, and it's bad for clothes...

Re: A coherent vision
All important - the words provide a shape. The style is - must be - anti-chaos, anti-relativism. Certainly the best form of discipline is self-discipline, and that means seeing what works and what doesn't. Modernism should thicken the blood - John Simons again.
