accidental

is, in painting, in fact a 'controlled looseness' in which is always maintained as a top priority.

What at first seems accidental is really 'controlled looseness.' Unity is always a top priority and is important for the success of a painting. (Carlton Plummer)

is like a frost at midsummer, the accidental is that which comes about neither always, nor by necessity, nor usually, (and thus allows for no science).

Of some things we say that they are so always and of necessity (necessity having thesense not of compulsion, but that which we use in logical demonstration), and of others that they are so usually, but of others that they are so nor always and by necessity, but fortuitously. E.g., there might be a frost at midsummer, although this comes about neither always and of necessity nor usually... but it might happen sometimes. The accidental, then, is that which comes about, but not always nor of necessity nor usually. Thus we have now stated what the accidental is... and it is obvious why there can be no science of such a thing, because every science has its object that which is so always or usually, and the accidental falls under neither of these descriptions'

Accidents, try to change them it's impossible. The accidental reveals man. (Pablo Picasso)
