Von der hinteren Coverseite

This gift range is inspired by Henry Wilson’s Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India , an outstanding sourcebook of photographs and drawings for lovers of both design and India, and practising artists and designers everywhere. Henry Wilson’s drawings – which in a magically abstract form copy the decoration illustrated or perform variations on it – allow the reader to understand and revel in the Indian aesthetic. They can also inspire designers to find patterns in existing decoration and produce original results.
