Synopsis
Excerpt from Proportion, or the Geometric Principle of Beauty, Analysed
To attempt to reduce to fixed principles what is called Taste in the combination of forms, is a difficult and perhaps a presumptuous task, although such principles are universally felt to exist. Yet it is not a hopeless labour, as it seems almost certain that the Grecians, at the period of their highest refinement, had a positive geometric principle of beauty systematically developed and applied in all their works.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geometrical patterns that underpin the creation of pleasing forms. The author argues that there exists a geometric principle of beauty which can be applied in all works of design, from architecture to painting. This principle is based on the idea that harmony arises from the proportionate arrangement of simple geometric shapes, such as the circle, triangle, and square. The author demonstrates how this principle can be used to create a variety of pleasing forms, and how it has been applied by artists and designers throughout history. The book provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the subject of geometric harmony, and will be of interest to anyone interested in art, design, or mathematics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
