Substantial in-4 volume, publisher’s binding in black cloth, with the title and geometric design in silver on the front cover. A major study by Charles Bouleau devoted to the geometric structures underlying pictorial composition.

Extensive black-and-white illustrations, with numerous reproductions of works on which the studied geometric lines are overlaid. Notable artists discussed include Tintoretto, Velázquez, Degas, Daumier, the Old Masters, Japanese prints, and modern art. This book has become a classic for the study of composition and geometry in painting. The binding shows some slight scuffing and signs of wear; the interior appears to be in good condition. The copy shown does not include a dust jacket.
