Excerpt from On Expression in Nature
That the philosophy of the Expression of Emotion is a very difficult matter to elucidate, the very numerous works on the subject abundantly prove. The earlier authors made little attempt at explanation, but confined their attention almost entirely to establishing rules in physiognomy. Sir -Charles Bell was the first in this country to treat the subject in a philosophic spirit, followed after many years by the late Mr. Charles Daasdaa. and more recently by Professor Mantagazza and Dr. Warner. With the exception of Sir Charles Bell, all these authors have studied expression chiefly from a physical point of view. Many years ago my attention was directed to this branch of inquiry from an artistic aspect by my having read some rules in art regatding the relation of a particular direction of lines and expression. These rules were to the effect that lines tending upwards suggested power and progress; that on the contrary, lines tending downwards indicated weakness and sadness; whilst horizontal lines were indicative of repose and peace. These rules appeared to me very remarkable, and I began forthwith to test their truth. During the investigation I found that, while the directions of lines were very important factors in expression, there appeared to be others, namely, the signs of energy, which had perhaps the greatest power in arresting our attention, and which were not necessarily included under the terms given.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating connection between the direction of lines and the expression of emotion in nature. The author draws on observations from various aspects of the natural world, including plants, animals, and humans. Through detailed analysis and examples, the book demonstrates how uptending lines are often associated with power and progress, while downtending lines suggest weakness and sadness. The author goes beyond these basic principles, examining how differently directed lines can interact to create complex expressions. The book also delves into the reasons why certain line directions evoke specific emotions, considering factors such as energy, muscle tension, and psychological associations. Ultimately, this book unveils a profound understanding of how nature communicates through the subtle language of lines, providing valuable insights into the deep connections between form and emotion.
