Art 21 / Geometry of Design

I’ve been spending some time at PBS’s Art 21 website recently. It’s packed with information about contemporary art and artists, and excerpts from the 20-minute interviews shown on their PBS television series.

I’ve ordered the book associated with the first season.

Another interesting book I just got in the mail:
Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition, by Kimberly Elam. It’s got a lot of compact information about the golden section and illustration as circles (which I’ve seen a lot) and squares (which I’ve seen less often), as well and some great overlays illustrating the underlying geometric design of various commercial artwork.
