Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental principles of ornamentation, a subject that has been surprisingly understudied despite being continuously present in human civilization. The author examines three main categories of ornament: inventional, imitational, and mixed. Within these categories, the book delves into the theories of proportions, discusses the concept of composite ornamentation, and analyzes the different types of primary, mixed, and composite forms. The author argues that the principles of ornamentation in the ceramic arts and architecture are analogous, drawing examples from ancient Greek models to demonstrate their theories. With a detailed analysis of form and its treatment, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of the principles of ornamentation, making it an invaluable resource for artists, designers, and anyone interested in the history of art and design.
