The painter ’s secret geometry: a study of composition in art

Аннотация

In the artistic chaos of these last years, when the absolute liberation of the individual instinct has brought it to the point of frenzy , an attempt to identify the harmonic disciplines that have secretly , in every period, served as foundations for painting might well seem folly .But this folly is in fact wisdom. It is the way to a kind of knowledge essential for whoever wants to paint . Essential ,too, for whoever wants to look at pictures.The framework of a work of art is also its most secret and its deepest poetry.
