Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the surprising and multifaceted history of just two ornament motifs - the 'trefoil' and 'palmette'. Appearing in art since ancient times, the author shows how these motifs have been adapted, combined and evolved over centuries, appearing everywhere from Egyptian, Roman and Greek art, through medieval times, and up to the Renaissance and modern times. The incredible variety of permutations these motifs have undergone in different parts of the world is examined in detail, exploring themes of symbolism, pattern creation, decorative use, and much more. The author also delves into the reasons behind the persistence and survival of these ornament forms. This book presents a fresh perspective on the evolution of art forms, and how even the simplest of motifs can speak volumes about the culture and time in which they were created. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334235085_0
