add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Ornament in Applied Art," by E. Weyhe with an introduction and catalogue by H.T. Bossert. The emphasis of the book is on the primitive. The older authorities clung close to time-honored patterns from the decadence of Egypt and Greece, the High Renaissance, the Rococo, the Baroque. Weyhe's volume brings concrete examples of faraway times and countries, a bit of gold ornament with blue inlay from Greece, 1750-1550 B.C., strange little horse-like beasts woven in white on the brown loin cloth of some native of the Malay Archipelago.
