5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Forget to Have Fun!, January 24, 2008
By 
Tod (Monson, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Styles of Ornament (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I have had this book in my reference/design library for nearly 40 years and it has never let me down. Whether I wanted to find tiny elements or sweeping gestures to help push a design foreword, I've always found the inspiration I hoped for. In addition, it's just plain fun to browse through!
About a zillion fantastic drawings make me think about the early archaeologists recording sights unimaginable to share with the rest of their world. Stone arches, iron gateways, tapestries, stained glass, furniture, it's all represented here.
I highly recomment adding this collection to your collection ASAP!
Don't forget to have fun! - Tod

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant classic for decorative .artists, August 14, 2010
This review is from: Styles of Ornament (Paperback)
Anyone who wants to stare at design wonders, through the ages , will be amazed by this volume. Just as the previous reviewer, I have been using this book for along time , at least twenty years. It is a smorgasbord of ornamental knowledge , that can be used over and over , to help you discern the subtle differences between epochs , and give you many templates to work with. To all decorative painters, and artists: Enjoy and use wisely.
