The Painter's Secret Geometry

<p>Bouleau's classic illustrated work examines the essential reliance of European painting tradition on the golden mean and other geometrical patterns. From antiquity to the present expert painters-including abstract modern masters such as Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock-have conveyed harmony through the mathematics of spatial division ultimately giving geometry a crucial role as the foundation upon which these classics were built. For over half a century <i>The Painter's Secret Geometry</i> has been a seminal work for students of art history and composition. Now this popular rich analysis is back in print for today's artists and historians.</p>
