Abstract art / by Moszynska, Anna,author(CARDINAL)769571;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-258) and indexObserving the world : paths to abstraction, 1910-14 -- Looking inwards : investigations, 1912-20 -- Social ideals : constructing the future, 1920-39 -- Abstractions in Europe : 1939-56 -- Focus on expression : USA, 1939-56 -- Objective approaches : abstract art, 1956-78 -- Crises in abstraction : 1979-89 -- Extending the canon : diffusions of identity and place since 1990 -- Abstraction in the expanded field : the twenty-first century"Moszynska examines the pioneering work of Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian alongside the Russian Constructivists, the De Stijl group, and the Bauhaus artists, contrasting European geometric abstraction in the 1930s and '40s with the emphasis on personal expression after World War II. Op, kinetic, and minimal art of the postwar period is discussed and illustrated in detail, and new chapters bring the account up to date, exploring the crisis in abstraction of the 1980s and its revival -- in paint, fabric, sculpture, and installation -- in recent decades."--Publisher description

Mathematics from the visual world [videorecording] / by Starbird, Michael P.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;

Bibliographic references included in course guidebook.Lectures by Michael Starbird.Presents lectures (each 30 minutes in length) by Michael Starbird, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. Presents a collection of topics that reveal the rich, wondrous structure of what we see around us. Patterns in nature are the source of our geometrical understanding of the world. Abstracting those patterns leads to concepts from classical geometry. Extensions of those and other ideas of form have created a landscape of mathematical ideas, including Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry groups, and graph theory.Not rated.DVD.

The art of perspective / by LeBlanc, Yves.(CARDINAL)521111; Beeby, Barbara.(CARDINAL)884406;

The parameters of perspective : The observer and the field of vision ; The surface of reconstruction ; The space to be reconstructed -- Frontal perspective : Conditions of observation ; A single vanishing point ; Dimensions and scales -- The "45" points : 45L and 45R ; Distancing of the artist ; Angle of vision ; Intersecting information ; Systematic constructions ; Creating a grid ; Rabatment -- Horizontal perspective : Conditions of observation ; Reconstructing a right angle ; Multiple orientations ; Inclined planes ; Projecting distance ; Calculating a dimension ; The photogrammetry approach -- Three-dimensional perspective : Conditions of observation ; Three-dimensional organization of space ; Locating vanishing points ; Harmonizing vanishing points ; The notion of verticality -- Choices of perspective : Small objects ; Medium-sized objects and figures ; Outdoor scenes ; Indoor spaces -- Ellipses, shadows, and reflections : Ellipses ; Shadows ; Reflections ; An example in three-dimensional perspective -- The notion of distancing : Sensory indices ; Positions chosen by the artist ; Geometrical logic ; Breaking down analysis.Perspective is the art of understanding the space that surrounds us, and then having the skill to reproduce what we see in an image : to flatten the world on a sheet of paper. This clear and richly illustrated book features more than 400 diagrams that introduce artists, graphic designers, and architects to the principles of perspective, so that they can create their own illusion of reality.

The coming of the railway : a new global history, 1750-1850 / by Gwyn, David,1957-author.;

Driven by a combination of ruthless enterprise, brilliant experimenters, and international cooperation, railway construction began to expand across the world with astonishing rapidity. From Britain to Australia, Russia to America, railways would bind together cities, nations, and entire continents. Rail was a tool of industry and empire as well as, eventually, passenger transport, and developments in technology occurred at breakneck speed--even if the first locomotive in America could muster only 6 mph"--

As much a work of art as a book about mathematics, Beautiful Geometry presents more than sixty exquisite color plates illustrating a wide range of geometric patterns and theorems, accompanied by brief accounts of the fascinating history and people behind each. With artwork by Swiss artist Eugen Jost and text by acclaimed math historian Eli Maor, this unique celebration of geometry covers numerous subjects, from straightedge-and-compass constructions to intriguing configurations involving infinity. The result is a delightful and informative illustrated tour through the 2,500-year-old history of one of the most important and beautiful branches of mathematics"--

Includes bibliographical references and index (pages 612-617) and index."This book is the result of a long process dating back to before Europeans christened an entire continent 'America': the reinterpretation, in modern and contemporary culture, of the forms and meanings of ancient civilizations and Indigenous cultures, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. With essays by some thirty international experts, its pages and its more than eight hundred illustrations take us back to the late eighteenth century and across the nineteenth century through scientific expeditions, archaeological discoveries, the formation of collections, and the subsequent development of historicist architecture. The book then looks at Americanist identity, which became more pronounced in the early twentieth century as a result of the reinterpretation of pre-Columbian knowledge and languages-especially in schools of arts and crafts-that revolutionized graphic design, literature, theater, film, music, and fashion. And finally, turning to the inventions of 'ancestral' culture in the twentieth century-when new artists ventured to once again explore the American continent, collected their finds, and documented them in drawings and photographs-the journey of Before América: Original Sources in Modern Culture brings us back to the present day, revealing how the Amerindian paradigm persists around the world: in geometry and color, in the critical or ironic quoting of the past, in Indigenous-based postmodern architecture, in intentional kitsch, in conceptual refinement, and in the sophisticated revitalization of ancient arts and crafts, now full of new and fascinating sociopolitical and aesthetic meanings"--Catalog of an exhibition held at Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, October 6, 2023 to March 10, 2024.
