Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Excellent handbook, spanning centuries and cultures, illustrates author’s theory of design and ornamentation—that several primary forms (square, circle, triangle, linear, flora and fauna) appear repeatedly throughout history. Text examines symbols and their uses, evolution of design motifs and psychological significance of patterns and designs. Thought-provoking text, plus hundreds of royalty-free patterns for artists, illustrators, craftworkers, and devotees of the decorative arts.
