Description
Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design by Jules Bourgoin is a comprehensive collection of Islamic art and design. This revised edition features 190 examples of intricate geometric patterns, including hexagons, octagons, dodecagons, and more, which have been perfected over centuries to achieve an unparalleled elegance. These fundamental shapes can be combined in countless ways, allowing artists and designers to create new patterns by altering angles or curving lines. The book includes 28 examples of actual applications from Cairo and Damascus, showcasing the use of these designs in architecture, such as sanctuary doors, openwork windows, and ceilings. With dotted construction lines provided for sections of the plates, readers can try their hand at drawing patterns. This valuable sourcebook is a treasure trove of Islamic art and design, offering artists and designers a wealth of inspiration and creative possibilities.
