Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a spirited and original approach to the often-discussed subject of composition. It is explicitly focused on the artistic product and its composition. The author, well-versed in his subject and the history of art itself, suggests that we can understand and evaluate a work of art better when we begin to think about the way art is created. The author has divided his text into six parts, each examining a different aspect of the subject overall: the laws of composition, usual arrangements of pictorial compositions, decorative application of the laws of composition, optical effects, practical suggestions in design applied to decorative work, and practical suggestions in planning. There is a fundamental discussion of how an artistâs individuality should shape the creation, while no two things should ever be alike; it must reflect the purpose for which it was intended. This book is a must-read for those interested in art and design, both for the professional artist, and those who simply enjoy studying and experiencing art for the joy of it. The author discusses some of the most important names in the history of art, including Jean Jacques Rousseau, Tolstoy, and Ruskin, showing the reader a number of ways to look at art and its value, with perspectives that have stood the test of time and continue to be relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
