Henning, Fritz Concept and Composition
Cincinatti, Ohio North Light Books 1983 0891340602 / 9780891340607 First Edition Soft Cover Very Good 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Nice, clean, attractive copy with no spine crease and no names or writing. Only fault is small bit of cover lift at front. Pages and page edges pristine. Measures 8-1/2"x11" Addresses both the beginner and the more experienced artist on two very specific topics -- concept and composition --both of which are often overlooked in art instruction. The author teaches the reader to discern picture problems dealing with the division of space. He also addresses placement size and scale, point of view, effects of values and color, balance, and rhythmn. It is not a how-to book, but a pre-how-to which explains the fundamental thinking process artists need to understand and employ as they begin a piece of art. To help illustrate these ideas he calls upon artists such as Norman Rockwell, Ben Shahn, Ben Stahl, Austin Briggs, Claude Croney and many others by showing their rough sketches, as well as their finished work, and also, when possible, quoting their own words to explain how they arrived at their ideas and translated them into visual form. 208 pages. Indexed.
