An "arrangement" usually means incidentally placing one thing next to another, for example, putting a chair against the wall. The chair put next to the wall is in a loose union with it. When putting a chair next to something we are not concerned with the relationships that can arise from the act of putting it there. The situation is different when we furnish an apartment. Then we are interested in the value of placing the chair next to the wall. In the artistic world the term "arrangement" refers to an artistically meaningful relationship between two colors in a painting. But artists do not feel the need to understand the term more precisely, for it belongs to the jargon of painting. The apparent ambiguity of the word is puzzling, so I try to understand what the arrangement of colors in a painting consists of, to unravel the technical sense of the word, relying especially on Roman Ingarden’s ontology.
