Paperback. Condizione: Good. Chinese craft design excelled in the manipulation of geometric space and reached its highest point in the design of window lattices on Chinese houses. Long recognized as an important folk art, window lattices have been generally neglected as an art form and this book is the first work on the subject since the 17th century. Fortunately, it is also the definitive work on the subject, and though no book can present a complete coverage of Chinese lattice, this book is a great classic study and an incredibly rich source of design for Westerners. More than 1200 designs are shown here, arranged in a clear system of classification that includes 22 areas of related design -- borders, brackets, tail pieces, and so on. The lattices are classified according to one basic figure or concept, and the hundreds of beautiful design variations fall into only 26 categories: parallelogram, octagon or octagon square, hexagon, single focus frames, double focus frames, triple focus frames, quintuple focus frames, no focus frames, wedge-lock, presentation, out-lock, in-out bound, the Han line, parallel waves, opposed waves, recurving wave, loop-continued, like swastikas (a Buddhist symbol), unlike swastikas, central Ju I, allover Ju I, S-scroll, U-scroll, rustic ice-ray, symmetrical ice-ray, and square and round. Each category is introduced in sections at the front. In addition, there is usually a short description for each design and every design is designated by name, location, and approximate date of construction. Professor Dye spent over 21 years studying and copying lattices all over China, and because of the ravages of time and changing cultural values, this collection can probably never be duplicated. Balanced, intricate, sometimes asymmetrical, usually harmonious, these lattice designs present a wealth of material for the Western commercial artist, textile designer, pattern-maker, and craftsman. Reflecting their Chinese heritage, these designs are universal and can be used almost anywhere.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Reprint Edition. This is a 1974 Reprint Edition of Daniel Sheets Dye's classic and definitive work, *Chinese Lattice Designs*, originally published in 1937. Bound in a sturdy paperback, this copy is in Good condition, showing general signs of handling commensurate with age.Long recognized as an important folk art, Chinese window lattices, which represent the pinnacle of Chinese craft design in the manipulation of geometric space, had been generally neglected as an art form until this monumental study.

Despite the inherent impossibility of complete coverage, this book is hailed as a great classic study and an incredibly rich source of design for Westerners.Professor Dye dedicated over 21 years to meticulously studying and copying lattices across China. Due to the ravages of time and changing cultural values, the vast collection of designs presented here can likely never be duplicated, making this book an invaluable historical and artistic record.The book showcases more than 1200 exquisite designs, organized into a clear system of classification spanning 22 areas of related design, including borders, brackets, and tail pieces. The lattices are categorized according to 26 basic figures or concepts, such as parallelogram, octagon, hexagon, various focus frames, wedge-lock, Han line, waves, swastikas (a Buddhist symbol), Ju I motifs, S-scroll, U-scroll, and both rustic and symmetrical ice-ray patterns. Each category is introduced with descriptive sections, and individual designs typically feature a short description along with their name, location, and approximate date of construction.Balanced, intricate, sometimes asymmetrical, and invariably harmonious, these lattice designs offer a wealth of material for commercial artists, textile designers, pattern-makers, and craftsmen. Reflecting their profound Chinese heritage, these designs possess a universal appeal and can be adapted for a multitude of creative applications.…
