Descrição do livro

Discover one of the most influential works in the history of decorative design.

First published in 1856, Owen Jones’s The Grammar of Ornament explores the principles of ornament through architectural and decorative traditions from around the world. Drawing upon Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arabian, Turkish, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Celtic, Medieval, Renaissance, and other artistic traditions, Jones examines how geometry, proportion, repetition, colour, and natural forms shape successful ornamental design.

This carefully prepared annotated black-and-white edition preserves the original text while making this historic work more accessible to contemporary readers.

This edition includes:

• Original editorial commentary
• Historical and visual analysis of major ornamental traditions
• Explanations of nineteenth-century terminology
• A practical design glossary
• Suggestions for further reading
• A newly prepared monochrome facsimile
• Clearly organized pages and improved page numbering

Ideal for artists, architects, interior designers, illustrators, craftspeople, design students, historians, and anyone interested in classical ornament and architectural decoration.

Edited by Merve Ekiz.
