In appreciating art we respond to the intelligent arrangement of matter. It is not the material that is wondrous (art materials rarely are in themselves) but the evidence of a human mind embodied in the material's organisation. The greater the degree of intelligence the greater the art. From this it should be apparent that the mind is evident beyond the brain.
