Download or read book Designs and Patterns from Historic Ornament written by W. and G. Audsley and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-known book was prepared a century ago by two British architects, and its reputation has grown steadily since. The Audsleys' rendering of designs from a wide variety of sources are national traditions, and their excellent sense of space and proportion and their straightforward interpretations of these ornaments have made this collection among the most valuable of its kind. The 60 plates contain over 250 large-scale line drawings, mostly executed by the authors. The designs and patterns shown are derived from architectural decorative motifs, textile designs, patterns from ceramics, etc. A brief text specifies sources for many of the designs, and captions identify national origin and often the original color schemes. The illustrations include ancient Egyptian patterns from painted tomb ceilings, borders from Greek vases, Celtic designs, Japanese ornaments, Moorish decorations, eleventh-century Italian textile designs, and architectural elements from the cathedral of Notre-Dame and other buildings. This partial list of contents gives an idea of the many styles of design reproduced in the book, and the applications to which the designs can be put. Commercial artists, architects, crafters, designers, scene designers, and others will find these pages a rich source of decorative designs.

Download or read book Historic Ornament written by C. B. Griesbach and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 1975 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 900 illustrations in this book comprise a vast collection of decorative motifs ranging in origin from the ancient world to the West on the verge of the industrial age. The designs and motifs assembled here come from metalwork, architectural reliefs, bookbinding, statuary, inlay work, tile design, fabric and furniture design and other sources. They show how these various ideas were carried out and changed over history; they also furnish an extraordinary sourcebook for contemporary designers and commercial artists. Beginning with Egyptian capitals and friezes, pottery designs and architectural ornaments of ancient Greece, this volume surveys the precursors and all major styles of European design through the 18th century, with great attention to national differences in style as these emerged and flourished. Dozens of overall designs and borders are included along with full illustrations of gates and latches, chalices, chairs, utensils, grillwork, sculpture, wall panels and ceilings, bowls, keys, candlesticks, and fountains rendered in floral patterns, geometrics, scrollwork, bacchanals, religious and heraldic symbols, with real and fantastic beasts, lattices and more. The original captions have been translated into English for this edition. While there are several other books that are roughly comparable as compendiums of historical ornament, this work offers perhaps the best renderings, both for historical accuracy and sharpness and clarity of technique. Students of the history of architecture and design will find here a valuable survey and reference for their work. Commercial artists, advertisers, illustrators, decorators, and craftsmen will find both numerous design ideas to take off from and hundreds of items to take whole -- classical columns, Italian Renaissance lion's heads and fountains -- for use in graphics assignments and any number of designs. - Back cover.
