Publisher's Synopsis

Proportional Form: Further Studies in the Science of Beauty, Being Supplemental to Those Set Forth in Nature's Harmonic Unity is a book written by Samuel Colman and published in 1920. The book explores the concept of beauty and its relationship to proportion, particularly in art and architecture. Colman builds upon the ideas presented in his previous work, Nature's Harmonic Unity, and delves deeper into the mathematical and scientific principles that underlie the perception of beauty. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of proportional form, including the Golden Ratio, the Fibonacci sequence, and other mathematical concepts. Colman also examines the role of symmetry, balance, and harmony in creating beauty, and discusses how these principles can be applied in various artistic and architectural contexts. Overall, Proportional Form is a comprehensive exploration of the science of beauty and its connection to proportion, and is essential reading for anyone interested in art, architecture, or aesthetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
