The Art History Context of Gombrich's Design Concept

Sir E.H. Gombrich's A Sense of Order –A Study in the Psychology of Decorative Artis a supposedly- exceptional design theory book. The decoration theory described in the book makes people see that the design behavior tracing back to the genetic genes of life is the common desire of human beings and also a kind of order developed for survival. It's not hard to see that the theory of "A sense of order" and Gombrich's innumerable classical works have an inseparable relation with the ideological pulsation produced in his student days. The basic historical model left by the Vienna School to Gombrich is a part of his exploration on his own design concept, which is worth tracing and exploring.
