Whose famous dictum is this: Unity disguised as chaos - complexity and contradiction are often what make works of art both exciting and profound

A. Robert Venturi

B. Philip Johnson

C. Michael Graves

D. Kenzo Tange

Answer: A. Robert Venturi

Explanation:

Venturi was a pioneer of postmodernism who became one of the most prominent architects of the 20th-century.

His seminal work, Complexity, and Contradiction in Architecture (1966) shows his ideas about the necessity to go against the dogmas of modernism and pleading for an architectural movement that embraced history, diversity, and humour, with lots of colors, oversized columns, and pediments, as well as asymmetries.
