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.
