Abstract

Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell - pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us. Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art Deco.Bron: http://www.exhibitionsinternational.be

Abstract

How the perception of shadows, studied by vision scientists and visual artists, reveals the inner workings of the visual system. In The Visual World of Shadows , Roberto Casati and Patrick Cavanagh examine how the perception of shadows, as studied by vision scientists and visual artists, reveals the inner workings of the visual system. Shadows are at once a massive problem for vision--which must distinguish them from objects or material features of objects--and a resource, signaling the presence, location, shape, and size of objects. Casati and Cavanagh draw up an inventory of information retrievable from shadows, showing their amazing variety. They present an overview of the visual system, distinguishing between measurement and inference. They discuss the shadow mission , the work done by the visual brain to parse, and perhaps discard, the information from shadows; shadow ownership , the association of a shadow with the object that casts it; shadow labeling , the visual system's ability to tell shadows from nonshadows; and the shadow concept , our knowledge about shadows as a category. Casati and Cavanagh then apply the theoretical apparatus they have developed for shadows to other phenomena: illumination, reflection, and transparency. Finally, they examine the art of the shadow, paying tribute to artists' exploration of shadow, analyzing a series of artworks (reproduced in color) from this rich and fascinating art historical corpus.

Abstract

Le Sens de l’Ordre fournit une étude complète de la riche histoire et de la théorie de l’art décoratif. L’impulsion humaine universelle de chercher l’ordre et le rythme dans l’espace et le temps se voit dans une étonnante gamme d’activités humaines : le jeu pour enfants, la poésie, la danse, la musique et l’architecture, ainsi que l’art. Sa prévalence persistante dans chaque activité exige une explication rigoureuse de ce phénomène fascinant en termes de patrimoine biologique.
