Rhythmic Form in Art

Editorial Reviews Book Description In this captivating study, an influential scholar-artist offers timeless advice on shape, form, and composition for artists in any medium. Irma Richter illuminates the connections between art and science by surveying works of art from classical antiquity through the Modernist era. Seventy-two images help illustrate the conscious and unconscious ways artists animated their works with geometric principles in an attempt to reconcile the realms of form and design. With research that leads to Florence, Chartres, Athens, and up the Nile Valley, readers explore the geometric scheme behind the works of art of the past. 38 figures. 34 plates.
