Synopsis
Excerpt from Composition, Vol. 1: A Series of Exercises Selected From a New System of Art Education
Millet's strength lies largely in his line. There is more than truth in it; there is beauty and character and intense mean ing. (no, I3.) To produce lines so expressive requires complete control of the hand, guided by a disciplined creative mind. It therefore seems proper that the student should, at the outset, enter upon a training that will give him such control and discipline.

Composition, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique approach to art education, focusing on the fundamental principles of composition that underlie all great works of art. Challenging the traditional emphasis on realism and scientific study, the author argues that true artistic expression stems from a deep appreciation of beauty and the ability to translate that appreciation into original creations. Through a series of progressive exercises, readers are guided through the exploration of line, dark-and-light (Notan), and color as the core elements of visual art. This journey begins with the simplest forms, like straight lines and squares, gradually progressing to more complex subjects like flowers and landscapes. By engaging in these exercises, individuals cultivate their inventive faculties, refine their sense of proportion and harmony, and ultimately develop their own unique artistic voice. The author draws upon a rich historical and cultural context, referencing the works of masters from both Eastern and Western traditions. From Giotto's Campanile to Japanese woodblock prints, the timeless principles of composition are revealed in diverse forms, inspiring readers to see the world with new eyes and discover the potential for artistic expression in every corner of life. Ultimately, this book offers a profound insight: the creation of beauty is not limited to the technically skilled or the academically trained. It is a universal language accessible to all who seek to cultivate their innate artistic potential. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
