Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase
The principle of dynamic symmetry is manifest in Shell growth and in leaf distribution in plants. A study of the basis of design in art Shows that this active symmetry was known to but two peoples, the Egyptians and the Greeks; the latter only having developed its full possibilities for purposes of art. The writer believes that he has now recovered, through Study of natural form and shapes in Greek and Egyptian art, this principle for the proportioning of areas.
