- Additional Information
The beginning of projective geometry, its early relationship to perspective in art, from which it sprung, and its application to the production of imaginative and complex art forms, as embodied in the work of the late H. P. Nightingale, are discussed. The concept of perspective divorced from nature is presented together with a method for making such a class of drawings.
L’auteur rappelle les debuts de la géométrie projective, comment elle est née du probléme de la perspective dans les œuvres d’art et comment elle a été appliquée ensuite à la création de formes artistiques originales et complexes, dans l’œuvre du regretté H. P. Nightingale, par exemple. II élabore le concept d’une perspective différente de la perspective naturelle et expose une méthode permettant de construire ce type de figures.
