Bouleau’s classic illustrated work examines the essential reliance of European painting tradition on the golden mean and other geometrical patterns. From antiquity to the present, expert painters-including abstract modern masters such as Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock-have conveyed harmony through the mathematics of spatial division, ultimately giving geometry a crucial role as the foundation upon which these classics were built. For over half a century, The Painter’s Secret Geometry has been a seminal work for students of art history and composition. Now this popular, rich analysis is back in print for today’s artists and historians.
