Synopsis

This examination of visual arts in the European tradition considers how painters have used the Golden Mean and other geometrical structures to shape composition. Bouleau traces these organising patterns through the work of recognised masters, while also drawing on more modern examples, including paintings by Klee and Pollack.

Long regarded as a sought-after cult classic, it is presented as a vade mecum for students of art history and artistic composition.
