Description:
Author: Jay Hambidge
ISBN: 0486217760
Publisher:
Dover Publications, New York, 1953
Size: 135 x 215 mm (5.375 x 8.5 in.); 133 pages, 3 plates, 154 figures, Paperback.

Originally published as a series of lessons in Hambidge's magazine, The Diagonal, this engrossing book explains all the basic principles of dynamic symmetry. Part I sets forth the fundamental rectangles with their simple divisions based on the proportioning law found in nature; Part II explains compound rectangles, many of which were taken from or suggested by analysis of objects of Greek art.

Whether read for its historical importance in art theory, for its illuminating insights into Greek art, or for its practical value to today's artists and commercial designers, The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry has much to offer anyone who is interested in the principle of design.
