Tudor, 1965, Large-format Vintage Paperback - Design - 128 pp. Light water-stain.
A kaleidoscopic collection of artistic motifs based on geometric figures, nature, and varied man-made objects.
The urge to ornament and beautify is as old as man himself. In this book, everyone from the art or design teacher or student, home craftsman, weaver, ceramist or amateur greeting card or textile designer, to the professional artist and designer, will find essential information on the background and potential use of ornament. The book also provides an invaluable treasure of representative, basic motifs from a wide variety of places and times--New Zealand to Assyria, prehistoric times to the 20th century--for reference, adaptation and stimulation of ideas and the imagination.
