Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Decorative Art: An Essay Upon Its Origin and Development as Illustrated by the Art of Modern Races of Mankind In presenting this short and, as I am well aware, imperfect essay to the public, I feel that it is necessary to say a few words in justification of my action. Although, for a proper comprehension of the growth of Art, it is necessary that its evolution should be studied from its very simplest beginning, this aspect of the subject has hardly been touched upon by writers of so-called 'Histories of Art.' In these, frequently very excellent works, the history of art is traced back perhaps to Assyrian and Ancient Egyptian civilisations, and a few writers dwell briefly upon the characteristics of modern Savage Art. Few of them, however, offer any study of the Art of the more primitive of the living races of mankind, with a view to explaining, by a process of reasoning from the known to the unknown, the first efforts of Primaeval Man to produce objects which should be pleasing to the eye, and gratify his growing aesthetic feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Middle Ages to contemporary times, decorative art can be defi ned by the artistic materials, designs and objects used in both architecture and interior design. Similar to many art forms decorative art continues to evolve, originating with pieces as simple as a chair, noted for its utility, to purely ornamental objects, celebrated for their aesthetic beauty. Decorative Art aims to eulogize these often undervalued objects by giving praise to all mediums of decorative art throughout the centuries. Originally never considered as fi ne art, their artistic potential was not acknowledged until the twentieth century when industrial production replaced artisanal creation. The age, authenticity and above all the uniqueness of these precious objects have now become the new standards of quality and beauty found in decorative art. Join us in discovering the evolution of decorative art through this enticing survey of major masterpieces throughout time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Decorative Art In the series of papers of which this is the first, I purpose giving a brief but succinct sketch of the whole field of decorative art, from the earliest times to the present, taking its rise and growth in due chronological order. The history of decorative art is essentially the history of an evolution. That being conceded, I shall take a backward glance at the beginning of humanity upon the earth, when decorative art was necessarily in its infancy. Here it may be borne in mind that, as it has never proceeded beyond this stage with the savage tribes of modern times, there will be found among the Polynesians of the present day much the same rude description of ornaments as are to be met with amongst the pre-Adamite autochthones and the people of the Swiss lake dwellings. The human animal, even in its lowest and most savage phases, has a natural tendency to form and to accumulate articles of a decorative character. For my first illustration I will go back to the Stone Period, long anterior to all human history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
