The Golden Ratio: Design's Biggest Myth

I actually think that the article's example using Dali's The Sacrament of the Last Supper sort of disproves itself.

Part of why the painting is so elegant is because of its balanced composition: the arms along the top of the golden spiral, the table edge along the top of the inner spiral, etc.

That composition could just as easily (and probably more accurately) be explained by the rule of thirds than by the golden ratio.
