A propos de cet article

Publisher's boards, pictorial dustjacket. New York, Rizzoli, 2006. 30,4 x 25,2 cms. 276 pp. Richly illustrated in colour. With index. Owen Jones was a versatile architect and designer, and one of the most influential design theorists of the 19th century. In his search for a unique modern style, Jones looked to the Islamic world for inspiration. Jones developed key principles for the newly-established Government School of Design, which later became the Royal College of Art. Jones' bold theories on the use of colour, geometry and abstraction formed the basis for his seminal publication, The Grammar of Ornament, a design sourcebook that is still in print 150 years later.
