25 (5 x 5)

Bookseller Notes

A playful, and striking demonstration of the Fibonacci sequence from artist, typographer and educator, Lucio Passerini. The sequence begins with a square consisting of 5 x 5 smaller squares, the outer made up of 8 horizontal lines, the inner 4, the central square entirely black; the following two images lack the central square, the next lacks two outer squares, the next lacks two outer and the central square, etc. (i.e., 0,1,1,2,3,5...) each new arrangement pleasingly symmetrical. (It is tempting to replicate the images of this delightful book with particular types of liquorice allsort).
