Curves

Nothing straight here, just curves. This small book covers the techniques and effects around curves in art. From different cultures and art styles, metalwork and penmanship, architecture and decoration, curves have made our lives not so straight and wonderful. From plant art and more, the book goes into history and design in a concise way, exploring the history of the curve and exploring its importance, relevance, and significance in art as we know it. Like other books in the Wooden Books series, this volume is full of illustration. Readers will find rare, old engravings as well as original art made for the instruction in the book.
