The Painter's Secret Geometry: A Study of Composition in Art

Bouleau's classic illustrated work examines the essential reliance of European painting tradition on the golden mean and other geometrical patterns. From antiquity to the present, expert painters-including abstract modern masters such as Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock-have conveyed harmony through the mathematics of spatial division, ultimately giving geometry a crucial role as the foundation upon which these classics were built. For over half a century, The Painter's Secret Geometry has been a seminal work for students of art history and composition. Now this popular, rich analysis is back in print for today's artists and historians.Author: Charles BouleauPublisher: Must Have BooksPublished: 02/10/2023Pages: 242Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.26lbsSize: 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.51dISBN13: 9781773237183ISBN10: 1773237187BISAC Categories:- Art | Techniques | Painting- Art | Criticism & Theory- Art | History | GeneralThis title is not returnable
