Publisher's Synopsis
A Theory of Pure Design: Harmony, Balance, Rhythm is a book written by Denman W. Ross that explores the fundamental principles of design. The author argues that design is not just about aesthetics, but also about creating a sense of harmony, balance, and rhythm in the visual composition. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which focuses on one of these principles. In the first section, Ross examines the concept of harmony and how it can be achieved through the use of color, line, and form. The second section explores the idea of balance and how it can be achieved through the careful placement of elements within a design. Finally, the third section discusses the importance of rhythm in design and how it can be created through the repetition of elements. Throughout the book, Ross provides numerous examples of how these principles can be applied in different contexts, from architecture and graphic design to painting and sculpture. The book is aimed at designers, artists, and anyone interested in the theory behind good design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
