Description
|
|
|
|
A beautifully decorative book in its own right, French artist David Balade's visual history and analysis of Celtic decorative motifs looks to such manuscripts as the Book of Kells, the Book of Durrow, and the Lindisfarne Gospels to explore a rich artistic tradition as complex as the tendrilled and entwined knots it depicts. Balade, a scholar of Celtic art, presents detailed chapters on the four major themes—Spirals and Triskels, Interlace, Labyrinths, and Bestiary—each explaining the elements of the pattern and the many modifications it underwent during the ages. Particularly valuable is a final chapter offering step-by-step instructions for replicating 20 significant motifs.
