Are there any rules in art? In my opinion, that would defeat its purpose.

There is a concept called the golden section, golden rectangle, or golden (divine) proportion, which is thought to have originated with the ancient Greeks, and developed more during the Italian Renaissance. It was and is applied to artistic principles, as well as other fields, such as architecture and design. The original idea was to create a principle of design and proportion based on a 'divine' rather than man-made notion.
The idea of the golden section was based on a mathematical ratio as a way to divide up the (rectangular) space in painting, architecture, etc. Basically, according to this ratio, if you will be using a rectangle (a painting), the way to determine the best proportion of width to height is by this mathematical ratio, of approximately 1 to 1.6 (i.e., the height will be a unit of 1; the width will be 1.6 times 1. For example, if you have a height measurement of 12 inches, the width would be 19.2 inches). It is thought that Seurat and Mondrian may have used this ratio in their paintings, not only for the outside measurements, but for relationships of spatial divisions within their paintings.
