The Genesis of Form is an investigation into the world of signs and forms as they have appeared and re-appeared throughout the history of art. The author has taken as his point of departure the art of the early twentieth century. He works backwards in time, distinguishing between Abstract Signs (form without meaning or reference to reality) and Signs as form with meaning.
Here is a lucid introduction to a huge field of study, copiously and particularly illustrated from all fields of the fine and applied arts.
The book is designed throughout by the author who has also used specially commissioned drawings and original diagrammatic illustrations.
The Genesis of Form: From Chaos to Geometry, provides a challenging introduction to the basics of the forms which are the raw material of the artist. This invaluable work will become a standard companion and inspiration for the student, the artist, the designer and the historian.
