  Says WHO?

  There is no "correct" way to view a print anymore than
  there is a correct distance from which to view a sculpture
  or work or architecture!   Good grief, where do you come up
  with this stuff?

  I suppose you're one of those people who think there's a
  formula for a good photograph, too - "sun at your back,
  diagonal line for interest, equal amounts of black and white ... ",
  etc.   Or a formula for a good symphony: "Must have
  4 movements - first movement allegro, second movement
  largo, . . . ", etc.
