Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This is the first revised edition, a new format, of a classic, best selling primer originally published in 1964. Basic Design which has already sold approximately 200,000 copies in the English language, is a clear, authoritative introduction to the basic elements of the plastic arts. Maurice de Sausmarez describes how a student working on his own without art school facilities or expensive equipment can pursue a course of study which will reveal to him the fundamental pictorial elements of all artistic expression, and the dynamic forces contained in these elements. Clarifying a subject about which there has been some confusion of thought, and containing a wide variety of illustrations of students work, the book is of the greatest value to young artists, both professional and amateur. It is a must for all teachers and art students.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
