Art is a Pattern

Alfred North Whitehead once said, "Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern." 

This means that an artist repeats a pattern in their art work. And that’s why people like art because it’s familiar to them and maybe that’s why people like it so much. Just like a music artist, they make music that sells, music that they know that people will like and then when the public hears the artists new album, they might like it because they have heard it before.
