+<h2>TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES</h2>
+
+
+<p>In the original of this work, most pages are headed by a topic phrase,
+so that a topic can be located quickly by riffling the pages of the
+book. In this etext, the same topic phrases appear in right-aligned
+boxes near the text that begins that topic. Thus a topic can be found
+by scrolling the text and scanning the right margin.</p>
+
+<p>The many images of the original are inline here as grayscale graphics in PNG
+format, scaled to 480 or 512 pixels
+width. When an image has a pale-gray border, the reader
+can click on the image to open a higher-resolution version.</p>
+
+<p>In the original, the requirements of book design often caused the
+editors to place images some distance from the text that discussed them.
+In this etext some images are placed closer to the point where they are mentioned
+and thus not at their original page number.
+Each image has a number, for example <a href="#f016">f016</a>. In the
+<a href="#LIST_OF_ILLUSTRATIONS">List of Illustrations</a>
+and the <a href="#INDEX">Index</a>,
+references to images by page number have been replaced
+by these figure numbers, which are linked to the images. Within the
+body text, references to a figure by its page number are linked to the image,
+not the specified page.</p>
+
+<p>Two minor typos were corrected: thing to think on page 10 and
+intregal to integral on page 197.</p>

+<h2><a name="PREFACE" id="PREFACE"></a>PREFACE</h2>
+
+
+<p>As in the case of "The Bases of Design,"
+to which this is intended to form a companion
+volume, the substance of the following
+chapters on Line and Form originally formed
+a series of lectures delivered to the students of
+the Manchester Municipal School of Art.</p>
+
+<p>There is no pretension to an exhaustive
+treatment of a subject it would be difficult enough
+to exhaust, and it is dealt with in a way intended
+to bear rather upon the practical work of an art
+school, and to be suggestive and helpful to those
+face to face with the current problems of drawing
+and design.</p>
+
+<p>These have been approached from a personal
+point of view, as the results of conclusions arrived
+at in the course of a busy working life which
+has left but few intervals for the elaboration of
+theories apart from practice, and such as they
+are, these papers are now offered to the wider
+circle of students and workers in the arts of
+design as from one of themselves.</p>
+
+<p>They were illustrated largely by means of rough
+sketching in line before my student audience, as
+well as by photographs and drawings. The rough
+diagrams have been re-drawn, and the other
+illustrations reproduced, so that both line and tone
+blocks are used, uniformity being sacrificed to
+fidelity.</p>

+<p><span class="smcap">Outline</span>, one might say, is the Alpha and

+expression among primitive peoples, as it is with
+the individual child, and it has been cultivated for
+its power of characterization and expression, and as
+an ultimate test of draughtsmanship, by the most
+accomplished artists of all time.</p>
+
+<p>The old fanciful story of its origin in the work
+of a lover who traced in charcoal the boundary of
+the shadow of the head of his sweetheart as cast
+upon the wall by the sun, and thus obtained the first
+profile portrait, is probably more true in substance
+than in fact, but it certainly illustrates the <i>function</i>

+<p><span class="sn">Silhouette</span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span>

+
+<p>As children we probably perceive forms in nature
+defined as flat shapes of
+colour relieved upon other
+colours, or flat fields of
+light on dark, as a white
+horse is defined upon the
+green grass of a field, or a
+black figure upon a background
+of snow.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Definition of Boundaries</span></p>
+
+<p>To define the boundaries
+of such forms becomes
+the main object in
+early attempts at artistic
+expression. The attention
+is caught by the
+edges&mdash;the shape of the
+silhouette which remains the paramount means
+of distinction of form when details and secondary
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span>characteristics are lost; as the outlines of mountains
+remain, or are even more clearly seen, when
+distance subdues the details of their structure,
+and evening mists throw them into flat planes
+one behind the other, and leave nothing but the
+delicate lines of their edges to tell their character.
+We feel the beauty and simplicity of such
+effects in nature. We feel that the mind, through
+the eye resting upon these quiet planes and delicate
+lines, receives a sense of repose and poetic suggestion
+which is lost in the bright noontide, with
+all its wealth of glittering detail, sharp cut in light
+and shade. There is no doubt that this typical
+power of outline and the value of simplicity of mass
+were perceived by the ancients, notably the Ancient
+Egyptians and the Greeks, who both, in their own
+ways, in their art show a wonderful power of characterization
+by means of line and mass, and a delicate
+sense of the ornamental value and quality of line.</p>

+</p>
+
+<p>Regarding line&mdash;the use of outline from the point
+of view of its value as a means of definition of form
+and fact&mdash;its power is really only limited by the
+power of draughtsmanship at the command of the
+artist. From the archaic potters' primitive figures
+or the rudimentary attempts of children at human
+or animal forms up to the most refined outlines of
+a Greek vase-painter, or say the artist of the Dream
+of Poliphilus, the difference is one of degree. The
+tyro with the pen, learning to write, splotches and
+scratches, and painfully forms trembling, limping
+O's and A's, till with practice and habitude, almost
+unconsciously, the power to form firm letters is
+acquired.</p>
+
+<p>Writing, after all, is but a simpler form of drawing,
+and we know that the letters of our alphabet
+were originally pictures or symbols. The main
+difference is that writing stops short with the acquisition
+of the purely useful power of forming
+letters and words, and is seldom pursued for the
+sake of its beauty or artistic qualities as formerly;
+while drawing continually leads on to new difficulties
+to be conquered, to new subtleties of line,
+and fresh fascinations in the pursuit of distinction
+and style.</p>

+
+<p>The practice of forming letters with the pen or
+brush, from good types, Roman and Gothic, however,
+would afford very good preliminary practice
+to a student of line and form. The hand would
+acquire directness of stroke and touch, while the
+eye would grow accustomed to good lines of composition
+and simple constructive forms. The progressive
+nature of writing&mdash;the gradual building
+up of the forms of the letters&mdash;and the necessity of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span>dealing with recurring forms and lines, also, would
+bear usefully upon after work in actual design. Albert
+D&uuml;rer in his "Geometrica" gives methods on
+which to draw the Roman capitals, and also the
+black letters, building the former upon the square
+and its proportions, the thickness of the down
+strokes being one-eighth of square, the thin strokes
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span>being one-sixteenth, and the serifs being turned by
+circles of one-fourth and one-eighth diameter. The
+capital O, it will be noted, is formed of two circles
+struck diagonally.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Methods of Drawing in Line</span></p>
+
+<p>Letters may be taken as the simplest form of
+definition by means of line. They have been reduced
+through centuries of use from their primitive
+hieroglyphic forms to their present arbitrary and
+fixed types, though even these fixed types are subject
+to the variation produced by changes of taste
+and fancy.</p>
+
+<p>But when we come to unformulated nature&mdash;to
+the vast world of complex forms, ever changing
+their aspect, full of life and movement, trees, flowers,
+woods and waters, birds, beasts, fishes, the human
+form&mdash;the problem how to represent any of these
+forms, to express and characterize them by means
+of so abstract a method as line-drawing, seems at
+first difficult enough.</p>
+
+<p>But since the growth of perception, like the
+power of graphic representation, is gradual and
+partial, though progressive, the eye and the mind
+are generally first impressed with the salient features
+and leading characteristics of natural forms,
+just as the child's first idea of a human form is that
+of a body with four straight limbs, with a preponderating
+head. That is the first impression, and
+it is unhesitatingly recorded in infantine outline.</p>
+
+<p>The first aim, then, in drawing anything in line
+is to grasp the general truths of form, character,
+and expression.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Progressive Method</span></p>
+
+<p>There are various methods of proceeding in getting
+an outline of any object or figure. To begin
+with, the student might begin progressively defining
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span>the form by a series of stages in this way. Take
+the profile of a bird, for instance; the form might
+be gradually built up by the combination of a series
+of lines:</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+	<a id="f006a" name="f006a"></a>
+	<img src="images/image006a.png" alt="figure"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>or take the simpler form of a flask bottle:</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+	<a id="f006b" name="f006b"></a>
+	<img src="images/image006b.png" alt="figure"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>or a jar on the same principle:</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+	<a id="f006c" name="f006c"></a>
+	<img src="images/image006c.png" alt="figure"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>or, simpler still, a leaf form, putting in the stem
+first with one stroke (1):</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+	<a id="f006d" name="f006d"></a>
+	<img src="images/image006d.png" alt="figure"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>and building the form around it (2, 3).</p>

+
+<p>This might be termed the calligraphic method of
+drawing; and in this method facility of hand might
+be further practised by attempting the definition of
+forms by continuous strokes, or building it up by
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span>as few strokes as possible. The simpler types of
+ornament consisting of meandering and flowing
+lines can all be produced in this way, i.e., by continuous
+line, as well as natural forms treated in a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span>certain abstract or conventional way, which adapts
+them to decoration.</p>

+
+<p>Another method is to sketch in lightly guide
+lines for main masses, building a sort of scaffolding
+of light lines to assist the eye in getting the
+correct outline in its place, using vertical centre
+lines for symmetrical forms to get the poise right.
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>This is the method very generally in use, but I
+think it very desirable to practise direct drawing
+as well, to acquire certainty of eye and facility of
+hand; and one must not mind failure at first, as
+this kind of power and facility is so much a matter
+of practice.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">The Japanese Direct Brush Method</span></p>
+
+<p>The Japanese, who draw with the brush, have
+accustomed themselves to draw in a direct manner
+without any preliminary sketching, and the charm
+of their work is largely owing to that crisp freshness
+of touch only possible to their direct method.
+The great object is to establish a perfectly intimate
+correspondence between eye and hand, so
+that the latter will record what the former perceives.</p>
+
+<p>Abundant specimens of the freedom and naturalism
+of the modern school of Japanese artists in
+this direct brush method may be found in the
+work of Bari, Hiroshigi, and Hokusai, and in the
+numerous prints and books of designs from their
+hands. To all draughtsmen and designers they
+are most valuable to study for their direct method
+and simple means of expression of form and fact.
+Accidental as they frequently seem in composition,
+the placing of the drawing upon the paper is carefully
+considered before starting, and this, of course,
+is always a very important point.</p>
+
+<p>Yet another method of drawing, more especially
+in relation to the drawing of the human figure and
+animal forms, I may mention as a help to those
+who do not feel strong enough for the direct
+method. At the same time it must be borne in
+mind that we can accustom ourselves to <i>any</i> method;
+and the more dependent we become upon a single
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>method, the less facility we shall have for working
+in any other. But for all that it is desirable to
+master <i>one</i> method&mdash;that is, to be able to draw in
+line <i>freely</i> in one way or another&mdash;and experience
+and practice alone will enable us to find the method
+most satisfactory.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Oval and Rectangular Methods</span></p>
+
+<div class="center">

+	<img src="images/image008.png" alt="figure"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Rectangular Method</span></p>
+
+<p>This other method is to block in the principal
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>masses of the forms we desire to represent by
+means of a series of ovals, as shown in the illustration,
+and when we have got the masses in their
+proper relations, to proceed to draw in the careful
+outline of the figure, or whatever it may be, upon
+this substructure of guiding lines, correcting as we
+go along. It would be quite possible to work on
+the same principle, but upon a structure of more
+or less rectangular masses. The real use of the
+method is to assist the student to get a grasp of
+the relation of the masses of a figure and a sense
+of structure in drawing; whether square or oval
+blocking in is used may be a matter of choice. It
+may be said for the oval forms that they resemble
+the contours of the structure in human and animal
+forms.</p>
+
+<p>If one had a tendency to round one's forms too
+much, it would be well to try the rectangular
+method to correct this, and <i>vice vers&acirc;</i>.</p>
+
+<p>After a certain facility has been acquired in
+rendering form by means of line, we shall perceive
+further capacities of expression in its use, and
+begin to note how different characteristics of form
+and natural fact may be expressed by varying the
+quality of our outline.</p>
+
+<p>If we are drawing a plant or a flower, for instance,
+we should endeavour to show by the quality
+of our line the difference between the fine springing
+curves in the structure of the lily, the solid seed-centre
+and stiff radiation of the petals of the daisy,
+and the delicate silky folds of the poppy.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Quality of Line</span></p>

+	/>
+</a>
+</div>
+
+<p>But, as leaves come before flowers, it would be
+best to begin with leaf forms and try to express
+the character of oak and beech, lime and chestnut
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span>leaves, for instance, by means of outline. Probably
+at first we shall feel dissatisfied with our outline
+as not being full enough: it may look meagre in
+quality and small in definition of form. This
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>probably arises from not allowing enough space&mdash;from
+setting the outline too much within the
+boundary of the form. To correct this one cannot
+do better than block in the form of the object we
+are drawing (leaf, flower, or figure) with a full
+brush in black silhouette, placing the object against
+the light or white paper, so that its true boundary
+may be seen uninterfered with by surface markings
+or shadows, and, concentrating our attention upon
+the <i>edge</i>, follow it as carefully as possible with the
+solid black. Then, if we compare the result with
+our outline, it will help to show where it has failed;
+and the practice of thus blocking in with the brush
+in solid silhouette will tend to encourage a larger
+style of drawing, since good outline means good
+perception of mass; and as a general principle in
+drawing, it may be recommended to place one's
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span>outline <i>outside</i> the silhouette boundary of the form
+rather than within it; that is to say, when the
+figure or object is relieved in light against dark, as
+the line in that case defines the edge against the
+background. When the figure or object appears
+as dark upon a light ground, however, the outline
+should be within the silhouette, obviously, or its
+delicate boundary is lost.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Linear Expression of Movement</span></p>
+
+<p>Another important attribute of line is its power
+of expressing or suggesting <i>movement</i>. By a law of
+inseparable association, undulating lines approaching
+the horizontal, or leading down to it, are connected
+with the sense of repose; whereas broken
+curves and rectangular lines always suggest action
+and unrest, or the resistance to force of some kind.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+	<img src="images/image010b.png"

+		title="Lines of Movement"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>The recurrence of a series of lines in the same
+direction in a kind of crescendo or wave-like
+movement suggests continuous pressure of force
+in the same direction, as in this series of instantaneous
+actions of a man bowling, where the line
+drawn through or touching the highest points in
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>each figure takes the line of the curve of a wave.
+The wave-line, indeed, may be said not only to
+suggest movement, but also to describe its direction
+and force. It is, in fact, <i>the line of movement</i>.
+The principle may be seen in a simpler way, as
+Hogarth points out in his "Analysis of Beauty,"
+by observing the line described along a wall by
+the head of a man walking along the street. Or,
+as we may see sometimes near the coast, trees
+exposed to the constant pressure of the wind illustrate
+this recurrence of lines in the same direction
+governing their general shape; and as each tree
+is forced to spread in the direction away from the
+wind, the effect is that of their being always struggling
+against its pressure even in the calmest
+weather; and this is entirely due to our association
+of wind-movement with this peculiar linear expression.</p>

+
+<p>Flowing water, again, is expressed by certain
+recurring wave-lines, which remind us of the ancient
+linear symbols of the zigzag and meander used
+from the earliest times to express water. In the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span>streams that channel the sands of the sea-shore
+when the tide recedes we may see beautiful flowing
+lines, sometimes crossing like a network, and
+sometimes running into a series of shell-like waves;
+while the sands themselves are ribbed and channelled
+and modelled by the recurring movement
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span>of the waves, which leave upon them the impress
+and the expression of their motion (much as in a
+more delicate medium the air-currents impress the
+fields of cloud, and give them their characteristic
+forms).</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Linear Expression of Textures</span></p>
+
+<p>Textures and surfaces, too, fall within the range
+of linear expression. One would naturally use
+lines of totally different consistency and character
+to express rough or smooth surfaces: to express
+the difference of value, for instance, between the
+ivory-like smoothness of an egg and the scaly
+surface of a pine-cone, entirely different qualities
+of line are obviously wanted. The firm-set yet
+soft feathers of the plumage of a bird must be
+rendered by a very different touch from the shining
+scales of a fish. The hair and horns of animals,
+delicate human features, flowers, the sinuous lines
+of thin drapery, or the broad massive folds of
+heavy robes, all demand from the designer and
+draughtsman in line different kinds of suggestive
+expression, a translation or rendering of natural
+fact subordinate to the artistic purpose of his work,
+and in relation to the material and purpose for
+which he works.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Linear Expression of Emotion</span></p>

+</a>
+</div>
+
+<p>Then, again, when we come to the expression
+of ideas&mdash;of thought and sentiment&mdash;we find in
+line an abstract but direct medium for their illustration;
+and this again, too, by means of that law of
+inseparable association which connects the idea of
+praise or aspiration and ascension, for instance,
+with long lines inclining towards the severe vertical,
+as when we draw a figure with upraised
+hands; while the feeling might be increased if led up
+to or re-echoed by other groups and objects in the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span>composition, forming a kind of vertical crescendo
+on the same principle which we were considering
+in regard to the expression of lateral movement.
+Few things in design are finer or more elevated in
+feeling than William Blake's design of the Morning
+Stars singing together, in the series of the Book
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>of Job, yet it is little more than a vertical arrangement
+of figures with uplifted and intercrossing
+arms. The linear plan gives the main impetus to
+the expressiveness of the design, and is the basis
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span>of the beauty, which culminates in the rapture of
+the fresh youthful faces.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Capacity of Line</span></p>
+
+<p>We seem here to discover a kind of scale of
+linear expression&mdash;the two extremes at either
+end: the horizontal and the vertical, with every
+degree and modulation between them; the undulating
+curve giving way to the springing energetic
+spiral, the meandering, flowing line sinking to the
+horizontal: or the sharp opposition and thrust
+of rectangular, the nervous resistance of broken
+curves, the flame-like, triumphant, ascending verticals.
+Truly the designer may find a great range
+of expression within the dominion of pure line.
+Line is, indeed, as I have before termed it, a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[22]</a></span>language, a most sensitive and vigorous speech
+of many dialects; which can adapt itself to all
+purposes, and is, indeed, indispensable to all the
+provinces of design in line. Line may be regarded
+simply as a means of record, a method of registering
+the facts of nature, of graphically portraying
+the characteristics of plants and animals, or the
+features of humanity: the smooth features of
+youth, the rugged lines of age. It is capable of
+this, and more also, since it can appeal to our
+emotions and evoke our passionate and poetic
+sympathies with both the life of humanity and
+wild nature, as in the hands of the great masters
+it lifts us to the heavens or bows us down to
+earth: we may stand on the sea-shore and see the
+movement of the falling waves, the fierce energy
+of the storm and its rolling armament of clouds,
+glittering with the sudden zigzag of the lightning;
+or we may sink into the profound calm of a summer
+day, when the mountains, defined only by
+their edges, wrapped in soft planes of mist, seem
+to recline upon the level meadows like Titans and
+dream of the golden age.</p>

+
+
+<p>I <span class="smcap">spoke</span> of Line as a Language, and gave some
+illustrations of its power and range of expression,
+showing that line is capable not only of
+recording natural fact and defining character, but
+also of conveying the idea of movement and force,
+of action and repose; and, further, of appealing
+to our emotions and thoughts by variations and
+changes in its direction, the degree of its emphasis,
+and other qualities.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Dialects</span></p>
+
+<p>Yet every designer and draughtsman uses line
+in a different way, and of a different quality, according
+to his preference, habit, training, or personality.
+The endless variations which result I should&mdash;to
+pursue the analogy of speech further&mdash;term
+<i>dialects</i>. We might collect abundant examples
+of these from the work of line-designers since the
+world began, or compare the methods of any of
+the popular illustrators of to-day to find constant
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span>variations and individual differences occurring
+even among those which might be said, under the
+influence of a prevailing mode, to be variations of
+one type.</p>
+
+<p>Compare a Greek vase-painter's delicate brush
+line-drawing with the bold pen-line of Albert
+D&uuml;rer (to get a contrast in historic style). Compare
+(to take two masters of different schools, but
+of the same country) the line-treatment of Mantegna
+with the line-treatment of Raphael; or, to
+take another jump, compare the line-work of Blake
+and Flaxman; or, to take a modern instance, and
+to come to our own contemporary artists, compare
+a drawing by Burne-Jones and one by Phil
+May.</p>
+
+<p>We might construct a sort of scale of the degrees
+and qualities of line.</p>
+
+<p>There is, for instance, outline of every degree
+of boldness or fineness, from the strong black half-inch
+outline and upwards used in mosaic-work
+and stained-glass leading; the outline of the
+pattern designer for block-printing; the outline
+of the pen draughtsman for process-work or woodcut;
+and so on, down to the hair-line of the drypoint etcher.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Scale of Degrees in Line</span></p>
+
+<p>There are the <i>qualities</i> of line in different
+degrees of firmness, roughness, raggedness, or
+smooth and flowing. There are the degrees of
+<i>direction</i> of line, curvilinear or angular. On the
+angular side all variations from the perpendicular
+and horizontal, or rectangle, within which we may
+find all these degrees, and on the curvilinear side,
+all the variations from spiral to circle: so that we
+might say that the rectangle was the cradle of all
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[25]</a></span>angular variations of line, while the semicircle was
+the cradle of all curvilinear variations. (See the
+diagrams on p. <a href="#f018">26</a>.)</p>

+<p>Every artist, sooner or later, by means of his

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span>use of line to suit his own personality&mdash;to suit his

+
+<p>Now what determines this choice, this personal
+selection, over and above necessities of method
+and material, it would be difficult to say, unless
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[27]</a></span>we had more minute knowledge of the natural
+history of a human being than we are likely to
+possess. We can only say that from practice are
+evolved certain methods or principles, consciously
+or unconsciously; and it is only these general
+methods or principles that can be explained and
+tested for the benefit of those essaying to follow
+the arduous and difficult path of art.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Relation of Line to Form</span></p>
+
+<p>At the outset we see that we need a means of
+definition in drawing, just as a child needs a word
+to express a thing it wants. <i>Line</i>, at the point of
+the pencil, pen, or brush, places this possibility of
+definition within our reach; but before we can
+grasp it we need some knowledge, however rudimentary,
+of its inseparable companion, <i>Form</i>.</p>
+
+<p>I recall two innocent and entertaining methods
+from the traditions of the nursery, which appeal at
+once in a curious way to both the oral and graphic
+senses, and unite story and picture in one. These
+are illustrated on p. <a href="#f019">28</a>. By such devices a child
+learns to associate line and form, unconsciously
+and step by step defining form in the use of, or
+pursuit of, line.
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span>

+
+<p>It would be very entertaining and agreeable if
+we could carry the principle further, and get a
+passable study from the antique, for instance, by
+a similar process. In line-drawing we may, however,
+always tell some story or fact, or character,
+phase, or idea.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Graphic Purpose</span></p>
+
+<p>But supposing we have mounted our steed <i>Form</i>,
+and taken our bridle <i>Line</i> in hand, and have
+started riding at large in the vast domain of nature,
+with the primary object of finding and hunting
+down truth at last; we soon perceive that there
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span>
+are so many truths, or rather that truth, even of
+natural fact, has so many sides, that it is difficult to
+make up our mind which one to pursue. Thought,
+however, will soon discover that in this pursuit of
+truth we strike a road that naturally divides itself,
+or branches out, into two main paths distinct in
+aim. These two paths in art have been called by
+many names; they occasionally cross each other,
+or overlap, and are sometimes blended, or even
+confused; but it will be useful for our present purpose
+to keep them very distinct. I will term them,
+for convenience:</p>
+
+
+<ol>
+<li>The Graphic Purpose. (Accidental form.)</li>
+<li>The Ornamental Purpose. (Typical form.)</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Our use of line will largely depend upon which
+of these two it is our object to pursue. Now when
+we look at anything with intent to draw&mdash;say a
+leafy bough as it grows in the sunshine&mdash;we see
+great complexity of form and surface-lighting.
+The leaves, perhaps, take all manner of variations
+of the typical form, and are set at all sorts
+of angles. In making a rapid sketch with the
+object of getting the appearance of the bough, we
+naturally dwell upon these accidents and superficial
+facts. At the same time, with nothing but
+line to express them, we are compelled to use a
+kind of convention, though our aim be purely
+naturalistic, to get a faithful portrait of the
+bough.</p>
+
+<p>We must make our line as <i>descriptive</i> as possible,
+defining the main forms boldly, and blocking in
+broadly the main masses of form and light and
+shade. We are now aiming at the general look
+of the thing. We are striving to grasp the facts
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[30]</a></span>of <i>Aspect</i>. We are concerned with the purely
+graphic purpose, to make a picture upon paper.</p>

+
+<p>We cannot, however, even under these simple
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[31]</a></span>conditions, altogether leave out of account considerations
+which, strictly speaking, must be
+termed "decorative." For instance, there is the
+question of placing the study well upon the paper,
+a very important point to start with; and then the
+question of beauty must arise, not only in the
+selection of our point of view, but in the choice of
+method, in the treatment of line we adopt; and it
+does not follow that the most apparently forcible
+way of getting bold projection by means of black
+shadows, at the cost of the more delicate characteristics
+of our subject, is the best. On the
+contrary, the finest draughtsmanship is always
+the most subtle and delicate, and one cannot get
+subtle and delicate draughtsmanship without faithful

+of form</i>, in short&mdash;and I am afraid there is no

+should want to understand it in its detail; the law

+to dwell upon its typical character and form, the
+controlling lines of its masses, rather than on its
+accidental aspects, because it would really be
+only with these that we could successfully deal in
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[32]</a></span>adapting anything in nature to the conditions and

+is taken so much for granted, except by
+those technically interested, whereas a graphic
+sketch may bring the drama of nature, and of
+human character and incident, before our eyes.
+It does not require us to stop and think out the

+
+<p>Here we discover another function of line. For,
+directly we endeavour to construct a decorative
+design&mdash;that is, a design intended to adorn or to
+express an object or surface&mdash;we find that we must
+build it upon some sort of a plan, or geometric
+controlling network or scaffolding, so as to give it
+unity, rhythm, and coherence&mdash;especially so in the
+case of repeating designs. Even in an isolated
+panel or picture the necessity of this linear basis
+will be felt, since one cannot draw a line or define
+a form without demanding an answer&mdash;that is, a
+corresponding, re-echoing line or mass.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="Curves 1.Q and 2.A"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>The curve (1. Q) is a proposition or question.
+It is answered or balanced by the corresponding
+curve (2. A), and forms the basis for a scroll design.</p>

+
+<p>The five radiating lines (1) are obviously incomplete
+by themselves, but if we add another
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[36]</a></span>four, in reverse order, (2) we get a centred and
+symmetric motive of an anthemion character.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Wall-Paper Design</span></p>
+
+<p>Take, however, a wall-paper. The problem is
+to construct a design pleasant to the eye in line,
+form, colour, and suggestion; which will be interesting
+in detail, and yet repeat upon a wall-surface
+without flaw, and without becoming wearisome.
+Moreover, one which will lend itself to
+being cut upon wood, if for block-printing, and
+which may be reproduced with a due regard to
+economy of means. The designer may have a
+square of twenty-one inches in which to make his
+design.</p>

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>A useful way to begin with is to rule out a sheet
+of paper into squares, say on the scale of 1-&frac12; inch
+to the foot, and upon this jot down your first ideas
+of linear arrangement and colour motive, and get
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[37]</a></span>the general effect, and test the plan of repeats.
+When you are satisfied with one, enlarge it to full
+size, correct and amplify it, and improve it in form
+and detail. Changes will probably be found necessary
+in drawing it upon the larger scale, sometimes
+additions, sometimes omissions. Now in sketching
+out the general plan, one builds, as before said,
+upon some basis or plan, however simple, since
+one cannot put a simple spot, sprig, or spray upon
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[38]</a></span>paper intending to repeat, without some system of
+connection to put them into relation.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Controlling Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>In designing one's sprig, too, the best plan to
+secure good decorative effect is to see that its
+general form is inclosed or bounded by an agreeable
+linear shape, although itself not actually
+visible. Simple leaf and flower forms are generally
+the best to use for these controlling boundaries.
+Sprays designed on this principle may be relied
+upon for repeating pleasantly and safely when
+they are placed upon, and connected by, the controlling
+geometric plan. A good practical test of
+the truth and completeness of your square repeat
+is, when the design is done, or even in progress,
+to cut it into four equal parts (supposing it to be a
+twenty-one inch square). This will enable you
+to get the joints true, and also, by altering the
+position of the squares, to give you a very good
+idea of the effect of the repeat full size. (See the
+diagrams on p. <a href="#f028">41</a>.)</p>
+
+<p>These things must be considered, of course,
+merely as practical aids to invention: not by any
+means as substitutes for it. One cannot give any
+recipe for designing, and no rules, principles, or
+methods can supply the place of imagination and
+fancy. "He who would bring back health from
+the Indies," says an old proverb, "must take it out
+with him."</p>
+
+<p>At the same time the imagination can be enfeebled
+by starvation and neglect. It can be
+depressed by dull and sordid surroundings. It
+is apt to grow, like other living things, by what
+it feeds on, and is stronger for exercise and development.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Memory</span></p>
+
+<p>Memory, too, is an important and serviceable
+thing in designing, and this, again, can be cultivated
+to an almost unlimited extent. I mean that
+selective kind of memory which, by constant and
+close observation, extracts and stores up the essential
+serviceable kind of facts for the designer:
+facts of form, of structure, of movement of figures,
+expressive lines, momentary or transitory effects
+of colour&mdash;all those rare and precious visual
+moments which will not wait, and which happen
+unexpectedly. They should be captured like rare
+butterflies and carefully stored in the mind's
+museum of suggestions, as well as, as far as is
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[40]</a></span>possible, pinned down in the hieroglyphics of the
+note-book.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Evolution in Design</span></p>
+
+<p>As regards procedure in working out a design,
+one generally thinks of some leading feature, some
+central mass or form or curve&mdash;of a figure or
+a flower, say&mdash;and one thinks of its capacity in
+repeat; and, since one form or line should inevitably
+suggest or necessitate&mdash;as by a kind of
+logic&mdash;another, one adds other forms until the design
+is complete. For it must never be forgotten
+that design is a growth which has its own stages
+of evolution in the mind, answering to the evolution
+of the living forms of nature&mdash;first the blade,
+then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.</p>
+
+<p>Experience teaches us that the most harmonious
+arrangements of form and line are those in which
+the leading lines and forms through all sorts of
+variations, continually recur. We cannot place a
+number of sharply contrasting and contradictory
+forms together in design satisfactorily&mdash;at least
+we cannot do so without recourse to other elements
+to harmonize and to bring them into relation. For
+instance, we might get a great deal of ornamental
+variety by means of a number of heraldic devices
+upon shields, full in themselves of quaintness and
+contrasts, but brought into harmony by the boundary
+lines of the shields and the divisions; or, still
+further, by throwing them upon a background of
+leaves and stems, the meandering lines and recurring
+forms of which would answer as a kind of
+warp upon which to weave the heraldic spots into
+a connected and harmonious pattern.</p>

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[42]</a></span>
+well aware, they can be brought into decorative
+harmony by following a similar principle to the one
+already laid down in regard to the designing of
+sprigs and sprays: that is to say, that in designing
+an animal or figure for heraldry or introduction
+into a pattern, one should arrange it so that it
+should fall within the boundary of some geometric
+or foliated form, square, circular, elliptical or otherwise,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[43]</a></span>as might be desirable. To this, however, I

+
+<p><span class="sn">Counterbalance</span></p>
+
+<p>We may here consider another important principle
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[44]</a></span>in designing with line and mass, that of
+<i>counterbalance</i>.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="The Principle Of Counterbalance In
+Different Systems Of Design."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Take any defined space as a panel, tile, or border
+to be filled with design: you place your principal
+mass, and instantly feel that it must be balanced
+by a corresponding mass, or some equivalent.
+Its place will be determined by the principle upon
+which the design is built. If on a symmetrical
+arrangement, you find your centre (say of a panel),
+and you may either throw the chief weight and
+mass of the design upon the central feature (as a
+tree), and balance it by smaller forms or wings
+each side, or <i>vice vers&acirc;</i>; or, adopting a diagonal
+plan, you place your principal mass (say it is a tile)
+near the top left-hand corner (suppose it is a pomegranate),
+connecting it with a spiral diagonal line
+(the stem); the place of the counterbalancing mass
+(the second pomegranate) is obviously near the
+bottom right-hand corner of the square. You may
+then feel the necessity for additional smaller forms,
+and so add to it (the leaves), completing the design.
+(See preceding page.)</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Linear Logic</span></p>
+
+<p>On the same principle one may design upon
+various other plans. The exact choice of the distribution
+of the counterbalancing masses must
+always be a matter of personal feeling, judgment,
+and taste, controlled by the perception of certain
+logical necessities: as it seems to me that designing
+is a species of linear reasoning,<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> and might
+almost be worked in its elementary stages on the
+principle of the syllogism, consisting of two propositions
+and a conclusion. A spiral curve is a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[45]</a></span>harmonious line, says the designer: repeat it,
+reversed, and you prolong the harmony; repeat it
+again, with variations, and you complete the
+harmony. Or, harmonious effect is produced by
+recurring form and line. Here is a circular form;
+here is a meandering line: combine and repeat
+them, and you get a logical and harmonious border
+motive.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Recurring Line and Form</span></p>
+
+<p>The everlastingly recurring egg and dart moulding
+and the volute are instances of the harmonious
+effect of very simple arrangements of recurring
+line and form. We also get illustrated in these
+another linear quality in design&mdash;that up-and-down
+movement which gives a pleasant rhythm to the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[46]</a></span>simplest border, and is of especial consequence in
+all repeating border and frieze designs. The
+borders of early, ancient, and classical art might
+be said to be little besides rhythmical and logical
+arrangements of line. The same rhythmical principle
+is found in the designs of the classical frieze
+in all its varieties, culminating in the rhythmic
+movement of the great Pan-Athenaic procession
+in that master-frieze of the Parthenon, which,
+though full of infinite variety and delicate sculptured
+detail, is yet controlled by a strictly ornamental
+motive, and constructed upon the rhythmic
+recurrence of pure line.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">The Principle of Radiation</span></p>
+
+<p>Another great linear principle in design is what
+is known as the <i>radiating</i> principle, which gives
+vitality and vigour alike to both arrangements of
+line and delineations of form. It is emphatically
+and abundantly illustrated in natural forms, from
+the scallop shell upon the sea-shore to the sun
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[47]</a></span>himself that radiates his light upon it. The palm-leaf
+in all its graceful varieties demonstrates its
+beauty, its constructive strength combined with
+extraordinary lightness, which becomes domesticated
+in that fragile sceptre of social influence and
+festivity, the fan, and which again spreads its
+silken, or gossamer, wing as a suggestive field for
+the designer. We find the principle springing to
+life again in the fountain jet, and symbolical of
+life as it has ever been; by means of the same
+principle applied to construction the Gothic architects
+raised their beautiful vaults, and emphasized
+the structural principle and the beauty of recurring
+line by moulding the edges of their ribs;
+while we have but to look at the structure of the
+human frame to find the same principle there also,
+in the fibres of the muscles, for instance, the radiation
+of the ribs, and of the fingers and toes.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+</a>
+</div>
+
+<p>In truth, as I have said, if there can be said to
+be one principle more than another, the perception
+and expression of which gives to an artist's work
+in design peculiar vitality, it is this principle of
+radiating line. One may follow it through all
+stages and forms of drawing and design, and it
+is equally important in the design of the figure, in
+the structure of a flower, in the folds of drapery,
+and alike in the controlling lines of pictorial composition
+and decorative plan, whether the lines radiate
+from seen or from hidden centres, which in all
+kinds of informal design are perhaps the most
+important.</p>

+art. By means of its help we guide our first
+tottering steps in the wide world of design; and,
+as we gain facility of hand and travel further afield,
+we discover that we have a key to unlock the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[49]</a></span>wonders of art and nature, a method of conjuring
+up all forms at will: a sensitive language capable

+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Recognizing</span> the great range and capacity
+of line as a means of expression, and also the
+range of choice it presents to the designer and
+draughtsman, the actual exercise of this choice of
+line, with a view to the most expressive and
+effective use in practice, becomes, of course, of
+the first consequence.</p>
+
+<p>In this matter of choice we are helped by natural
+bias, by personal character and preferences, for
+which it would, as I have said, be difficult fully to
+account; but beyond this a kind of evolution goes
+on, arising out of actual practice, which controls
+and is controlled by it. Draw simply a succession
+of strokes with any point upon paper, and we find
+that we are gradually led to repeat a particular
+kind of stroke, a particular degree of line, partly
+perhaps because it seems to be produced with
+more ease, and partly because it appears to have
+the pleasantest effect.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Choice of Line</span></p>
+
+<p>By a kind of "natural selection," therefore, influenced
+no doubt by many small secondary causes,
+such as the relation of the particular angle of the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[52]</a></span>hand and pencil-point to the surface&mdash;the nature
+of the point itself and the nature of the surface&mdash;we
+finally arrive at a choice of line. This choice,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[53]</a></span>again, will be liable to constant variation, owing
+to the nature of the object we are about to draw,
+or the kind of design we want to make.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Use of Line</span></p>
+
+<p>The kind of line which seems appropriate to
+representing the delicate edges of a piece of low-relief
+sculpture, for instance, would require greater
+force and firmness if we wanted to draw an antique
+cast in the round, and in strong light and shade.
+The character of our line should be sympathetic
+with the character of our subject as far as possible,
+and sensitive to its differences of character and
+surface, since it is in this sensitiveness that the
+expressive power and peculiar virtue of line-drawing
+consists.</p>

+
+<p>A feather, a lily, a scallop shell, all show as an
+essential principle of their form and construction
+the radiating line; but what a different quality of
+line would be necessary to express the differences of
+each: for the soft, yet firm, smooth flowing curves
+of the feather fibres no line would be too delicate;
+and the lily would demand no less delicacy, and
+even greater precision and firmness of curve, while
+a slight waviness, or quiver, in the lines might
+express the silken or waxy surface of the petals;
+while a crustier, more rugged, though equally firm
+line would be wanted to follow the rigid furrows
+and serrated surface of the shell. The leaves of
+trees and plants of all kinds, which perhaps afford
+the best sort of practice in line-drawing at first,
+present in their varieties of structure, character,
+and surfaces continual opportunities for the exercise
+of artistic judgment in the choice and use
+of line.</p>
+
+<p>The forms and surfaces of fruits, again, are
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[54]</a></span>excellent tests of line draughtsmanship, and their
+study is a good preparation for the more subtle
+and delicate contours of the human form&mdash;the
+greatest test of all. Here we see firmness of
+fundamental structure (in the bones) and surface
+curve (of sinew and muscle), with a mobile and
+constantly changing surface (of flesh and sensitive
+skin). To render such characteristics without
+tending to overdo either the firmness or the mobility,
+and so to become too rigid on the one hand,
+or too loose and indefinite on the other, requires
+extraordinary skill, knowledge, and practice in

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[55]</a></span>drawing or design must largely depend. In the
+selection of any subject we should naturally be
+influenced by the attractiveness of particular parts,
+characters, or qualities it might possess, and we
+should direct our efforts towards bringing these
+out, as the things which impress us most. That
+is the difference between the mind and hand working
+together harmoniously and the sensitized plate
+in the photographic camera, which, uncontrolled
+in any way by human choice (and even under
+that control as it always is to some extent), mechanically
+registers the action of the light rays
+which define the impress of natural forms and
+scenes through the lens focussed upon the plate.
+So that, as we often see in a photograph, some
+unimportant or insignificant detail is reproduced
+with as much distinctness (or more) as are the
+leading figures or whatever form the interesting
+features or the motive of the subject. The picture
+suffers from want of emphasis, or from emphasis
+in the wrong place. It is, of course, here that the
+art of the photographer comes in; and, although
+he can by careful selection, arrangement, and the
+regulation of exposure, largely counteract the
+mechanical tendency, a photograph by its very
+nature can never take the place of a work of art&mdash;the
+first-hand expression, more or less abstract, of
+a human mind, or the creative inner vision recorded
+by a human hand.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Influence of the Photograph</span></p>
+
+<p>Photography does wonders, and for certain
+qualities of light and shade, and form and effect
+without colour, no painting or drawing can approach
+it; but it has the value and interest of
+science rather than of art. It is invaluable to the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[56]</a></span>student of natural fact, surface effect, and momentary
+action, and is often in its very failures most
+interesting and suggestive to artists&mdash;who indeed
+have not been slow to avail themselves of the help
+of photography in all sorts of ways. Indeed the
+wonder is, considering its services to art in all
+directions, how the world could ever have done
+without it.</p>
+
+<p>But a photograph cannot do everything. It
+cannot make original designs, and it cannot draw
+in line. You can design in the solid, and make
+your groups in the studio or the open air; you can
+select your point of view, and the photograph will
+reproduce. You can make your drawing in line,
+and it will copy it; and we know its sphere of
+usefulness in this direction is enormous, since it
+can bring before our eyes the whole range of
+ancient art.</p>
+
+<p>In short, photography is an excellent servant
+and friend, but a dangerous master. It may easily
+beguile us by its seductive reproductions of surface
+relief and lighting to think more of these qualities
+than any other, and to endeavour to put them in
+the wrong places&mdash;in places where we want colour
+planes rather than shadow planes, flatness and
+repose rather than relief, for instance, as mostly
+in surface decoration.</p>
+
+<p>But one way of learning the value of emphasis
+is to draw from a photograph, and it will soon be
+discovered what a difference in expression is produced
+by dwelling a little more here, or a little
+less there.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Value of Emphasis</span></p>
+
+<p>In designing, the use of emphasis is very important;
+and it may be said that drawing or designing
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[57]</a></span>without emphasis is like reading without
+stops, while awkward emphasis is like putting your
+stops in the wrong place.</p>
+
+<p>By a difference in emphasis the same design
+may be given quite a different effect and expression.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		alt="Effect of Different Emphasis in the
+Treatment of the Same Design."
+		title="Effect of Different Emphasis in the
+Treatment of the Same Design."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Suppose, for instance, we were designing a vertical
+pattern of stem, leaves, and fruit in one colour.
+By throwing the emphasis upon the leaves, as in
+No. 1, we should gain one kind of effect or decorative
+expression. By throwing the emphasis upon
+the fruit, and leaving the leaves in outline, we
+should get quite a different effect out of the same
+elements, as in No. 2. While by leaving stem,
+leaves, and fruit all in outline, and throwing the
+emphasis upon the ground, we should get, again,
+a totally distinct kind of effect and expression.</p>
+
+<p>Similar differences of effect and expression,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[58]</a></span>owing to differences of emphasis, might be studied
+in the drawing and treatment of a head (as in <span class="smcap">a</span>, <span class="smcap">b</span>,
+and <span class="smcap">c</span>). The possibilities of such variations of
+emphasis in drawing are practically unlimited and
+co-extensive with the variations of expression we
+see in nature herself. The pictorial artist is free
+to translate or represent them in his work, controlled
+solely by the conditions and purpose of
+his work.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+	<img src="images/image039.png"
+		alt="Different Emphasis in the Treatment of a Head."
+		title="Different Emphasis in the Treatment of a Head."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>It is these conditions and purposes which really
+control both choice and treatment, and determine
+the emphasis, and therefore the expression of the
+work.</p>
+
+<p>No kind of art can be said to be unconditioned,
+and the simplest and freest of all, <i>the art of the
+point and the surface</i>, which covers all the graphic
+art and flat designing, is still subject to certain
+technical influences, and it may be said that it is
+very much in so far as these technical influences
+or conditions are acknowledged and utilized that
+the work gains in artistic character.</p>
+
+<p>[SN The Technical Influence]</p>
+
+<p>The draughtsman in line who draws for surface
+printing, for the book or newspaper, should be able
+to stand the test of the peculiar conditions; and, so
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[59]</a></span>far from attempting to escape them, and seeking
+something more than they will bear, should welcome
+them as incentives to a distinct artistic treatment
+with a value and character of its own, which indeed
+all the best work has. It is, for instance, important
+in all design associated with type for surface
+printing, that there should be a certain harmonious
+relation between lettering or type and printer's
+ornament or picture.</p>

+and white effects, not only has the most attractive
+decorative effect with type, but lends itself to the
+processes of reproduction for surface printing best,
+whether woodcut or one of the numerous forms of
+so-called automatic photo-engraving, as well as to
+the conditions of the printing press.</p>
+
+<p>In all design-work which has to be subjected to
+processes of engraving and printing, clearness and
+definiteness of line is very necessary. Designs for
+textile printing of all kinds, for wall-papers, especially,
+require good firm drawing and definite colour
+planes. This does not, however, mean hardness
+of effect. A design should be clear and intelligible
+without being hard.</p>
+
+<p>For weaving, again, definiteness in pattern designing
+is very necessary, since the design must be
+capable of being rendered upon the severe conditions
+of the point paper, by which it is only possible
+to produce curves by small successive angles (which
+sounds like a contradiction in terms). The size of
+these angles or points, of course, varies very much
+in the different kinds of textile with which pattern
+is incorporated, from the fine silk fabric, in which
+they are almost inappreciable, to carpets of all kinds,
+where they are emphatic; so that a certain squareness
+of mass becomes a desirable and characteristic
+feature in designs for these purposes, and,
+indeed, I think it should be more or less acknowledged
+in all textile design, in order to preserve its
+distinctive beauty and character.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Artistic Purpose</span></p>
+
+<p><i>Beauty and character.</i>&mdash;In these lies the gist of
+all design. While the technical conditions, if fully
+understood, fairly met, and frankly acknowledged,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[63]</a></span>are sure to give <i>character</i> to a design, for whatever
+purpose, <i>beauty</i> is not so easy to command. It is
+so delicate a quality, so complex in its elements, a
+question often of such nice balance and judgment&mdash;depending
+perhaps upon a hair's-breadth difference
+in the poise of a mass here, or the sweep of a
+curve there&mdash;that we cannot weave technical nets
+fine enough to catch so sensitive a butterfly. She
+is indeed a Psyche in art, both seeking and sought,
+to be finally won only by devotion and love.</p>
+
+<p>This search for beauty&mdash;this Psyche of art&mdash;is
+the purely inspiring artistic purpose, as distinct
+from the technical and useful one, which should,
+perfectly reconciled and united with it, determine
+the form of our work.</p>
+
+<p>In drawing or design we may seek particular
+qualities in line and form either of representation
+or of ornament. We may desire to dwell upon
+particular beauties either of object or subject. Say,
+in drawing from a cast or from natural form of any
+kind, we desire to dwell upon beauty of line or
+quality of surface. Well, since it is most difficult,
+if not impossible, to get everything at once, and
+nothing without some kind of sacrifice, we shall
+find that to give prominence to&mdash;to bring out&mdash;the
+particular quality in our subject (say beauty of line),
+it becomes necessary to subordinate other qualities
+to this. A drawing in pure outline of a figure may
+be a perfect thing in itself. The moment we begin
+to superadd shading, or lines expressive of relief
+of any kind, we introduce another element; we are
+aiming at another kind of truth or beauty; and unless
+we have also a distinctly ideal aim in this, we
+shall mar the simplicity of the outline without gaining
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[64]</a></span>any compensating advantage, or really adding
+to the truth or beauty of the drawing.</p>
+
+<p>In designing, too, unless we can so contrive the
+essential characteristics of our pattern that they
+shall be adaptable to the method and material of its
+production, and make its reproduction quite practicable,
+it is sure to reappear more or less marred
+and incomplete. The thing is to discover what
+kind of character and beauty the method will allow
+of&mdash;whether beauty or quality of line, or surface,
+or colour, or material; and if to be reproduced in
+a particular method or material, the design should
+be thought out in the method or material for which
+it is destined, rather than as a drawing on paper,
+and worked out accordingly, using every opportunity
+to secure the particular kind of beauty naturally
+belonging to such work in its completed form.</p>
+
+<p>Thus we should naturally think of <i>planes of surface</i>
+in modelled work, and the delicate play of
+light and shade, getting our equivalent for colour
+in the design and contrast of varied surfaces. In
+stained glass we should think of a pattern in lead
+lines inclosing one of translucent colour, each being
+interdependent and united to form a harmonious
+whole. In textile design we should be influenced
+by the thought of the difference of use, plan, and
+purpose of the finished material; as the difference
+between a rich vertical pattern in silk, velvet, or
+tapestry, to be broken by folds as in curtains or
+hangings, and a rich carpet pattern, to be spread
+upon the unbroken level surface of a floor. The
+idea of the wall and floor should here influence us
+as well as the actual technical necessities of the
+loom. It would be part of the artistic purpose
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[65]</a></span>affecting the imagination and artistic motive, and
+working with the strictly technical conditions.</p>
+
+<p>The mind must project itself, and see with the
+inner eye the effect of the design as it would appear
+in actual use, as far as possible. Invention,
+knowledge, and experience will do the rest.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Brush-Work</span></p>
+
+<p>Keeping, however, to strictly pictorial or graphic
+conditions&mdash;to the art of the point and the surface&mdash;with
+which, as designers and draughtsmen, we
+are more immediately concerned, we cannot forget
+certain technical considerations strictly belonging
+to the varieties of point and of surface, and their
+relations one to another. The flexible point of the
+brush, for instance, dipped in ink, or colour, has its
+own peculiar capacity, its own range of treatment,
+one might say, its own forms.</p>
+
+<p>The management admits of immense variation
+of use and touch, and its range of depicting and
+ornamental power are very great: from the simpler
+leaf forms, which seem to be almost a reflection
+or shadow of the moist pointed brush itself, to the
+elaborate graphic drawing in line or light and
+shade.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>In forming the leaf shape one begins with a light
+pressure, if at the point, and proceeds to increase
+it for the middle and broader end. On the same
+principle of regulation of pressure any brush forms
+may be built up. It is essential for freedom in working
+with the brush not to starve or stint it in moisture
+or colour. For ornamental forms a full brush
+should be used: otherwise they are apt to look
+dragged and meagre. For a rich and flowing line
+also a full brush, however fine, is necessary. It is
+quite possible, however, to use it with a different
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[66]</a></span>aim, and to produce a sort of crumbling line when
+half dry, and also in colour-work for what is called
+dragging, by which tone, texture, or quality may
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[67]</a></span>be given to parts of a drawing. One should never
+lose sight, in using the brush as a drawing tool, of
+its distinctive quality and character, and impart it
+to all work done by its means.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[68]</a></span>The direct touch with the full brush&mdash;to cultivate
+this is of enormous advantage to all artists,
+whatever particular line of art they may follow,
+since it may be said to be of no less value in design
+than it is in painting pure and simple. We can all
+feel the charm of the broad brush washes and emphatic
+brush touches of a master of water-colour
+landscape such as De Wint. This is mastery of
+brush and colour in one direction&mdash;tone and effect.
+A Japanese drawing of a bird or a fish may show
+it equally in another&mdash;character and form. A bit
+of Oriental porcelain or Persian tile may show the
+same dexterous charm and full-brush feeling exercised
+in a strictly decorative direction.</p>

+
+<p>The empire of the brush, if we think of it in all
+its various forms and directions, is very large; and
+it commands, in skilled hands, both <i>line</i> and <i>form</i>,
+in all their varieties, and leaves its impress in all
+the departments of art, from the humble but dexterous
+craftsman who puts the line of gold or colour
+round the edges of our cups and saucers, to
+the highly skilled and specialized painter of easel
+pictures&mdash;say the academician who writes cheques
+with his paint-brush!</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Charcoal and Pencil</span></p>
+
+<p>Then we have the ordinary varieties of the firm
+point: charcoal, pencil, pen. Charcoal, being halfway
+between hard and soft&mdash;a sort of halfway
+house or bridge for one passing from the flexible
+brush to the firm and hard points of pencil and
+pen&mdash;is first favourite with painters when they
+take to drawing. Its softness and removability
+adapts it as a tool for preliminary and preparatory
+sketching in for all purposes, and both for designer
+and painter; but it lends itself to both line and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[70]</a></span>
+tone drawing, or to a mixture of both. It is therefore
+a very good material for rapid studies (say
+from the life) and the seizing of any effect of light
+and shade rapidly, since the masses can be laid
+in readily, and greater richness and depth can be
+obtained in shorter time, perhaps, than by any
+other kind of pencil.</p>
+
+<p>Charcoal is also very serviceable for large cartoon-work,
+since it is capable of both delicacy and
+force, and bears working up to any extent. A
+slight rubbing of the finger gives half tones when
+wanted, and is often serviceable in giving greater
+solidity and finish to the work.</p>
+
+<p>Then there is the lead pencil&mdash;the point-of-all-work,
+as it might be called&mdash;more generally
+serviceable than any other, whether for rapid
+sketches and jottings in the note-book, or careful
+and detailed drawings, or sketching in for the
+smaller kinds of design-work. It is also, of
+course, used for drawings which are afterwards
+"inked in." I do not think, however, that pen-work
+done in this way is so free or characteristic
+as when done direct, or at any rate quite freely,
+upon a mere scaffolding of preliminary lines, used
+only to make the plans for the chief masses and forms.</p>
+
+<p>Pencil drawing is capable of being carried to a
+greater pitch of delicacy and finish, and has a
+silvery quality all its own. It has not the force
+or range of charcoal, but in its own technical
+range it possesses many advantages. Its gray
+and soft line, however charming in itself, does
+not fit it for work where sharpness and precision
+of line and touch are required, as may be said to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[71]</a></span>be the case with all work intended to be reproduced
+by some process of handicraft or manufacture,
+except some sorts of photo-engraving or
+lithography. We must therefore look to another
+implement to enable us to obtain these qualities,
+namely, the brush, the use and qualities of which I
+have already touched upon.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Pen</span></p>
+
+<p>There remains yet another point of the firm
+and decisive order, the pen, which enables us to
+get firmness and sharpness of line and precise
+definition, as well as considerable range of treatment
+and freedom of touch.</p>
+
+<p>The pen seems to bear much the same relation
+to the brush as the lead pencil does to charcoal&mdash;not
+capable of such full and rich effects or such
+flowing freedom of line, but yet possessing its own
+beauty and characteristic kinds of expression. Its
+true province is in comparatively small scale work,
+and its natural association is with its sister-pen of
+literature in the domain of book-design and decoration,
+and black and white drawing for the press.
+Its varieties are endless, and the ingenuity of
+manufacturers continually places before us fresh
+choice of pen-points to work with; but though
+one occasionally meets with a good steel pen, I
+have found it too often fails one just when it is
+sufficiently worn to the right degree of flexibility.
+One returns to the quill, which can be cut to suit
+the particular requirements of one's work. For
+large bold drawing the reed-pen has advantages,
+and a pleasant rich quality of line.</p>
+
+<p>But with whatever point we may work, the
+great object is to be perfectly at ease with it in
+drawing&mdash;to thoroughly master its use and capacities,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[72]</a></span>so that in our search for that other command,
+of line and form, we may feel that we have
+in our hands a tool upon which we can rely, a
+trusty spear to bear down the many difficulties
+and discouragements that beset, like threatening
+dragons, the path of the art-student.</p>

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[76]</a></span>To avoid, however, falling into mechanical ways,
+and to maintain the interest and give vitality to
+such studies, the relation of such forms to forms
+in nature and art should be borne in mind, and no
+opportunity missed of comparing them, or of
+seeking out their counterparts, corresponding
+principles, and variations, as well as their practical
+bearing, both functional and constructive; as in
+the case of the typical forms of flowers, buds, and
+seed-vessels, for instance, where the cone and
+the funnel, and the spherical, cylindrical, and
+tubular principles are constantly met with, as
+essential parts of the characters and organic
+necessities of the plant: the cone and the funnel
+mostly in buds and flower-petals for protection
+and inclosure of the pollen and seed germs, the
+tube for conducting the juices; the spherical form
+to resist moisture externally, or to hold it internally,
+or to avoid friction, and facilitate close
+storage, as in the case of seeds in pods. The
+seed-vessel of the poppy, for instance, has a
+curious little pent-house roof to shield the interstices
+(like windows in a tower) till the seed is
+ripe and the time comes for it to be shaken out
+of the shell or pod. A further practical reason
+for the prevalence of spherical form in seeds is
+that they may, when the outer covering or husk
+perishes, more readily roll out and fall into the
+interstices of the ground; or when, as in the case
+of various fruits, such as the apple and orange,
+the envelope itself is spherical and intended to
+carry their flat or pointed seeds to the ground,

+in organic nature, as, for instance, in the honeycomb
+of bees, where choice of form is a constructive
+necessity: the cube is in every sense of the
+word the corner-stone in architecture, and without
+squaring and plumbing no building could be
+constructed, while the cylindrical and conical principles
+of form are illustrated in towers and roofs,
+spires and pinnacles. In architectural ornament
+and carved decoration the cube and sphere again
+form the basis, both forming ornaments themselves
+by mere recurrence and repetition, and
+also forming constructional bases of ornament.</p>

+
+<p>A very simple but effective form of carved
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[78]</a></span>ornament characteristic of early Gothic work is
+what is known as the dog-tooth. This is formed
+simply by cutting a cube of stone
+into a pyramid, depressing the
+sides, and cutting them into geometric
+leaves, leaving the sharp
+angles of the pyramid from the
+base to the apex standing out
+in bold relief. In ground-plan
+this is simply composed geometrically
+of a rectangle divided diagonally
+into four equal parts, and by striking four
+semicircles from the centres of the four sides of
+the rectangle. Here we get a form of ornament
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[79]</a></span>in the flat which appears to have been very widely
+used, and reappears in the early art of nearly all
+races so far as I am aware. We find it, for
+instance, in Assyrian carving and in early Greek
+decoration, in China and Japan, and in European
+medi&aelig;val work of all kinds. Its charm perhaps
+lies in its simplicity of construction yet rich ornamental
+effect, either as carved work or as a flat
+painted diaper. It might also be used as the geometric
+basis of an elaborate repeating wall-pattern
+over a large surface.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Filling of Spaces</span></p>
+
+<p>When it comes to the choice of form, when we
+are face to face with a particular problem in design,
+ornament, or decoration (say, as most frequently
+happens, it is to fill a panel of a given shape and
+size), we are bound to consider form in relation
+to that particular panel, to the subject we propose
+to treat, and the method by which the design
+is to be produced, or the object and position
+for which it is intended. This generally narrows
+the range of possible choice. Firstly, there is the
+shape of the panel itself. A well-known exercise
+for the Teacher's Certificate under the Department
+of Science and Art is to give a drawing of
+a plant adapted to design in a square and a circle.
+Now in the abstract one would be inclined to
+select for a circular fitting different forms from
+those one might select for a square filling, since I
+always consider that the shape of the space must
+influence the character of the filling in line and
+form. Still, if the problem is to fill a square and
+a circle by the same forms, or an adaptation of
+them, we must rely more and more upon difference
+of <i>treatment</i> of these forms, and not try to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[80]</a></span>squeeze round forms into rectangular space, or
+rectangular forms into circular space. In a rose,
+for instance, it would be possible to dwell on its
+angular side for the square, and on its curvilinear
+side for the circle. Anyway, we should seek in
+the first place a good and appropriate motive.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Supposing the design is for wood inlay, we should
+have to select forms that would not cause unnecessary
+difficulty in cutting, since every form in the
+design would have to be cut out in thin wood and
+inserted in the corresponding hollow cut in the
+panel or plank to receive it. Complex or complicated
+forms would therefore be ruled out, as being
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_81" id="Page_81">[81]</a></span>not only difficult or impossible to reproduce in the
+material, but ineffective.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Inlay Design</span></p>
+
+<p>A true feeling for the particular effect and decorative
+charm of inlaid work should lead us to
+limit ourselves to comparatively few and simple
+forms, treating those forms in an emphatic but abstract
+way, and making use of recurring line and
+form as far as possible. We might make an effective
+panel, say, for a casket, or a clock-case, or a floor, by
+strictly limiting ourselves to very few and simple
+forms&mdash;say, for instance, a stem, a leaf, a berry, or
+disc, and a bird form, or fruit and leaf forms. It
+would be possible to build up a design with such elements
+both pleasant in effect and well adapted to the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[82]</a></span>work. An excellent plan would be to cut out all one's
+forms with knife or scissors in stiff paper, as a test
+of the practicability of an inlay design. This is
+actually done with the working drawing by the inlay
+cutter.</p>

+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[83]</a></span>I once designed an inlaid floor for the centre of
+a picture gallery. The scale was rather large, and
+the work was bold. One kept to large, bold, and
+simple forms&mdash;water-lilies and broad leaves, swans,
+scallop shells, and zigzag borders. Forms which
+can be readily produced by the brush would generally
+answer well for inlay, since they would have
+simple and sweeping boundaries and flat silhouette.
+And for inlay one is practically designing in black,
+white, or tinted silhouette. This makes it very good
+practice for all designers, both for the invention it
+tends to call out, owing to the limited resources and
+restriction as to forms, and also as giving facility
+and readiness in blocking in the masses of pattern.</p>
+
+<p>The water-colour painter, too, would find that
+blocking in in flat local colour all his forms and the
+colours of his background was an excellent method
+of preparatory work, and afforded good practice in
+direct painting, since he could add his secondary
+shades and tints in the same manner until the work
+was brought to completion, while preserving that
+fresh effect of the undisturbed washes which is the
+great charm of water-colour.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Grouping of Allied Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>In seeking forms to group together harmoniously&mdash;which
+is the whole object of composition&mdash;we
+shall find that much the same kind of principle
+holds good whether we are arranging a still-life
+group or designing a wall-paper or textile. It is
+only a difference of degree and scale. In the one
+case we are designing in the solid with the actual
+objects, before drawing or painting them as a harmonious
+pictorial composition; in the other we are
+arranging forms upon the flat with a view to harmonious
+composition with a strictly decorative purpose
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[84]</a></span>in view. In the first we are dealing with
+concrete form in the round; in the second, generally
+speaking, with abstract form in the flat.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="Grouping of Allied Forms: Composition of Curves."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>But in either case we want harmony. We cannot,
+therefore, throw together a number of forms
+unrelated to each in line, contour, or meaning. We
+seek in composing or designing not contradictions,
+but correspondences of form, with just an element
+of contrast to give flavour and point. In grouping
+pottery, for instance, we should not place big and
+little or squat and slender forms close together
+without connecting links of some kind. We want
+a series of good lines that help one another and
+lead up to one another in a kind of friendly co-operation.
+Broad smooth forms and rounded surfaces,
+again, require relief and a certain amount of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[85]</a></span>contrast. We feel the need of crisp leaves or flowers,
+perhaps, with our pottery form. We may safely
+go far, however, on the principle of grouping similar
+or allied forms, giving our composition as a
+whole either a curvilinear or angular character in
+its general lines, masses, and forms, on the principle
+of like to like. This will entirely depend
+upon our choice of grouping of form; but the more
+by our selection we make our composition tend
+distinctly in the one direction or the other, the
+more character it will be likely to possess.</p>

+
+<p>In selecting forms for still-life grouping and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[86]</a></span>painting, I think increased interest might be gained
+by arranging significant objects, accessories bearing
+upon particular pursuits, for instance, in natural
+relationship and surrounding. Groups suggesting
+certain handicrafts, for instance, such as the clear
+glass globe of the wood-engraver, the sand-bag,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[87]</a></span>the block upon it, the tools, gravers lying around,
+the eye-glass, an old book of woodcuts, and so forth.
+Other groups suggestive of various arts and industries
+could be arranged&mdash;such motives as metal-work,
+pottery, literature, painting, music, embroidery,
+spring, summer, autumn, and winter, might
+all be suggestively illustrated by well-selected
+groups of still life. Even different historic periods
+might be emblematically suggested&mdash;I should like
+to see more done in this way.</p>

+
+<p>To return to design in the flat. If we start with
+a motive of circular masses, we cannot suddenly
+associate them with sharp angles&mdash;I mean in our
+leading forms. Of course we can make a network
+or trellis or diaper of the angles, to form a mat,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_89" id="Page_89">[89]</a></span>

+
+<p>If the principal group of forms in our pattern,
+say, are fruit forms&mdash;apples, pomegranates, or
+oranges&mdash;we must re-echo or carry out the curves
+in a lesser degree in the connecting stems and
+leaves. Change the form of the fruit, say, to lemons,
+and a further variation of connecting or subsidiary
+curve in stems and leaves will naturally suggest
+itself, and at the same time in following such principles
+we shall be expressing in an abstract way
+more of the character of the tree or plant itself. In
+looking at the leaf of a tree one may often see a
+suggestion of the general character and contour of
+the tree itself, and we know the line:</p>
+
+<p style="margin-left:3em;">"Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined."</p>
+
+<p>In dealing with angular motives the same principle
+would be followed, but corresponding to the
+difference of motive. Let the form of your detail
+be reflected in the character of your mass.</p>
+
+<p>I have spoken of the necessity in designing of
+seeking correspondences in form, and although,
+could we place every form in proper sequence and
+supply all the intermediary links to unite them
+harmoniously, forms of extreme diversity might
+thus be associated, given great extension of space
+(as in wall decoration, for instance), even then we
+should want these forms to correspond and recur.
+Yet, as a rule, having to deal in design with what
+are really parts rather than wholes, we can only
+endeavour by making the design of these parts simple
+and harmonious in line and form, and true to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_92" id="Page_92">[92]</a></span>
+their special conditions, to render their association

+
+<p>Certain forms seem to lend themselves to design
+in ornament better than others, because they give
+the designer certain lines and masses which can be
+harmoniously repeated or combined with other allied
+forms or lines. Design from this point of view
+becomes a search for analogies of form.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Analogies of Form</span></p>
+
+<p>I mentioned certain simple geometric forms common
+to nature and art. Early ornament consists
+in the repetition of such forms. The next step was
+to connect them by lines: and so form and line,
+through endless vicissitudes and complexities, became
+united, to live happily in the world of decorative
+motive ever after. But long after the primitive
+unadorned geometric forms themselves have ceased
+to be the chief forms in ornament, their controlling
+influence is asserted over the boundaries of the
+more complicated masses introduced.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Typical Forms of Ornament</span></p>
+
+<p>The simple rectangle is disguised under the fret,
+the circle and spiral assert their sway over the
+boundaries of the palmette, or circle and semicircle
+unite to form the oval so frequently used both as a
+unit in Greek ornament and as a controlling boundary.
+These are typical border forms: for extension
+and repetition in fields of pattern we find the same
+geometric plans at work in combination and subdivision,
+forming at first the ornament itself, and
+afterwards furnishing the plan and controlling
+boundaries only. Even in later stages in the evolution
+of surface decoration, in what are called
+naturalistic floral patterns, amid apparent carelessness
+and freedom, by the exigencies of repetition
+the ghost of buried geometric connection reappears,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_94" id="Page_94">[94]</a></span>
+and compels the most naturalistic roses on a wall-paper
+to acknowledge themselves artificial after all,
+as they nod to their counterparts from the masked
+angles of the inevitable diaper repeat.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>We find in the historical forms of decorative art
+constantly recurring types of form and line, such
+as the lotus of the Egyptians, the anthemia of the
+Greeks, the pineapple-like flower and palmette of
+the Persians, the peony of the Chinese. These
+forms, at first valued solely for their symbolical and
+heraldic significance, and continually demanded,
+became to the designer important elements or <i>units</i>
+in ornament. They gave him fine sweeping curves,
+radiating lines, and bold masses, without which a
+designer cannot live, any more than a poet without
+words. They were capable, too, of infinite variation
+in treatment, a variation which has been continued
+ever since, as by importation to different
+countries (the movement going on from east to
+west) the same forms were treated by designers of
+different races, and became mixed with other native
+elements, or consciously imitated as they are now
+by Manchester designers and manufacturers, to be
+sold again in textile form to their original owners,
+as it were, in the far East. Truly, a strange turn
+of the wheel.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Ornamental Units</span></p>
+
+<p>The range of choice in ornamental units is, indeed,
+embarrassingly large for the modern designer,
+and a careful and tasteful selection becomes of more
+and more importance. It is not the number of
+forms you can combine, or because they are of Persian
+or Chinese origin, that your work will be artistic,
+but the judicious and inventive use made of
+the elements of your design. Ready-made units,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_95" id="Page_95">[95]</a></span>such as the Oriental forms I have mentioned, are
+no doubt easier to combine, to make an effect with,
+because a certain amount of selection has already
+been done. In fact, with such forms as the Persian
+or Indian palmette, we are dealing with the results
+of centuries of ornamental evolution, and with emblems
+immemorially treasured by ancient races. It
+behoves us, if we are called upon to recombine
+them, to treat them with sympathy, refinement, and
+respect, and to let them deteriorate as little as possible,
+for the spirit of an important ornamental form
+is like a gathered flower&mdash;it soon withers and becomes
+limp.</p>

+
+<p>It is the <i>spirit</i>, after all, that is the important
+thing to preserve, in decorative design, however
+widely we may depart from the <i>letter</i> sometimes.
+This is a difficult quality to define, but I should say
+it chiefly consists in a nice attention to the character
+of form, the elastic spring of curves, an understanding
+of the construction and proportions, and
+grasp of the effect. In designing we constantly feel
+the need of repeating certain masses with variations
+or balancing them by equivalents, or the necessity
+of leading up to certain main forms by subsidiary
+forms, and to carry out their lines in other parts of
+the composition. In designing figures or emblems,
+for instance, within inclosed spaces, such as shields
+or cartouche shapes, forming leading elements in a
+design, it requires much invention and ornamental
+feeling so to arrange them that, while different
+in subject or meaning, and differently spaced,
+they shall yet properly counterbalance each other,
+and, though varied in detail, shall yet be equivalent
+in quantity. The same sort of feeling would
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_96" id="Page_96">[96]</a></span>govern the case of designing two masses of fruit
+and foliage, say, forming two halves of an oblong
+panel, which, though starting on the symmetric
+plan from the centre, are not intended to be alike
+in detail; or in a frieze composed of a series of
+formalized trees, where it was desired to have each
+different, say, to express the progression of the
+seasons, it would be the sense of the necessity of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_98" id="Page_98">[98]</a></span>
+equivalents which would govern the decorative effect.</p>

+
+<p>Such considerations naturally lead us to the
+question of the use of <i>quantities</i> in design&mdash;the
+ornamental proportions of ornament, or the contrasting
+distribution of form and line. For the
+mere repetition of ornamental forms over surfaces

+
+<p>In designing a bordered panel&mdash;or say a carpet&mdash;we
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[99]</a></span>might decide to throw the weight of pattern,
+colour, or emphasis upon either the field or border.
+Supposing the field had a dark ground upon which
+the arabesque or floral design was relieved, in the
+border it would be most effective to transpose this
+arrangement, making the ground light, and bringing
+out the border design dark upon it. Or, if the
+motive were reversed, giving a light ground to the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_100" id="Page_100">[100]</a></span>centre, with the pattern dark, the border might be
+brought out on a dark field. Or, again, for a less
+emphatic treatment the quantities of the pattern
+itself might be almost infinitely varied, massive
+forms and close fillings contrasting with open borders
+and united with intermediary bands.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>These intermediary bands or subsidiary borders
+are very important in Eastern rugs and carpets,
+and their quantities very carefully considered. A
+Persian designer, for instance, would never leave a
+blank unbroken strip of colour to surround his field;
+his object is not to isolate the quantities of his pattern,
+but to distinguish and unite them: so he makes
+use of the subsidiary borders as additional quantities.
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_101" id="Page_101">[101]</a></span>A usual arrangement which always looks
+well is to have the border proper inclosed in two
+bands of about the same width and quantity in pattern&mdash;or
+they might be a repeat of each other&mdash;and
+to inclose the field or centre within another
+narrow subsidiary border. But the variations to be
+observed in any chance selection of Persian rugs
+or carpets are constant, and the amount of subtle
+variety and invention in these subsidiary borders
+is endless.</p>
+
+<p>Very excellent examples of the treatment and
+distribution of quantities may also be studied in the
+older Indian printed cottons, such as maybe seen
+at South Kensington.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Contrast</span></p>
+
+<p>The consideration of quantities in form and design
+involves the question of <i>contrast</i>, which, indeed,
+can hardly be separated from it. There is
+the contrast of form and line, and the contrast of
+colour and plane. It is with the first kind we are
+dealing now.</p>
+
+<p>Take the simplest linear border, such as the type
+common in Greek work. We should easily weary
+of the continual repetition of such a form alone
+and unassisted, but add a vertical with an alternative
+dark filling, and we get a certain richness and
+solidity which is a relief at once. Add another
+quantity, and we get the rich effect of the egg and
+tongue or egg and dart moulding.</p>
+
+<p>A still simpler instance of the use of contrast,
+however, is the chequer, or the principle of equal
+alternation of dark and light masses; but this
+touches colour contrast rather than form.</p>

+<p>The love of contrast makes the Chinese porcelain-painter
+break the blue borders of his plates
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_103" id="Page_103">[103]</a></span>with small cartouche-like forms inclosing the light
+ground, varied with a spray or device of some light
+kind; or the diagonal, closely-filled field of his
+woven silk by broad discs or cartouches of another
+plane of ornament. But the love of sharp or very
+violent contrasts, more especially of form, may
+easily lead one astray and be destructive of ornamental
+effect. Like all decorative considerations,
+the artistic use of contrast depends much upon the
+particular case and the conditions of the work, and
+one cannot lay down any unvarying rules. There
+are agreeable and disagreeable contrasts, and their
+choice and use must depend upon the individual
+artist.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Variation of Allied Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>The most beautiful kinds of design rather seem
+to depend upon the harmonious variation in association
+of similar or allied forms than on sharp
+contrasts.</p>
+
+<p>In compositions of figures the association of the
+delicate curves and angles of the human form, and
+the lines of drapery, with the emphatic verticals
+and horizontals, the semicircles and rectangles of
+architectural form, for instance, are always delightful
+in competent hands; as also compositions of
+figure and landscape, with its possibilities of undulating
+line corrected by the severe horizon, or sea-line,
+and contrasted with the vertical lines of trees,
+stems, and the rich forms of foliage masses.</p>
+
+<p>For the same reasons both of correspondence
+and contrast, masses of type or lettering of good
+form are admirable as foils to figure designs, in
+which commemorative monuments of all kinds and
+book designs afford abundant opportunities to the
+designer.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[106]</a></span>
+<span class="sn">Use Of Human Figure and Animal Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>In surface or textile decoration of all kinds
+nothing gives so much relief and vitality as the
+judicious use of animal forms and the human figure,
+although they are not much favoured at present.
+The forms of birds and animals, if designed in relation
+to the rest of the pattern, will give a pleasant
+variety of form and line, and in their forms and
+lines we find just those elements both of correspondence
+and contrast, in their relation to geometric
+or to floral design, which are so valuable.</p>
+

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>In order to combine such forms successfully,
+however, great care in designing is necessary; and
+a good sound principle to follow as a general guide
+is to make the boundaries of the bird or animal
+touch the limits of an imaginary inclosing form
+of some simple geometric or floral or leaf shape
+(see p. <a href="#f063a">104</a>). This would at once control the form
+and render it available in a pattern as a decorative
+mass or unit. The particular shape of the controlling
+form must, of course, depend upon the
+general character of the design, whether free and
+flowing or square and restricted, the nature of the
+repeat, the ultimate position of the work, and so on.
+A study of Gothic heraldry and the early Sicilian silk
+patterns would be very instructive in this connection,
+since it is rather the heraldic ideal than that
+of the natural history book which is decoratively
+appropriate. At the same time it is quite possible
+to combine ornamental treatment with a great deal
+of natural truth in structure and character.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Much the same principles apply to the treatment
+of the human figure as an element in ornament;
+they should be designed, whether singly or in
+groups, under the control of imaginary boundaries,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_107" id="Page_107">[107]</a></span>and care must be taken that in line and mass
+they re-echo (or are re-echoed by) other lines which
+connect them with the rest of the design, if they
+occur as incidents in repeating wall-paper or hanging
+design, for instance. It is, however, quite possible
+to imagine a decorative effect produced by
+the use of figures alone (see p. <a href="#f063b">105</a>), with something
+very subsidiary in the way of connecting
+links of linear or floral pattern, much as figures
+were used by the ancient Greek vase-painters,
+beautifully distributed as ornament over the concave
+or convex surfaces of the vases and vessels
+of the potter, the forms of which, as all good decoration
+should do, they helped to express as well
+as to adorn.</p>

+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The</span> function of line considered from the point
+of view of its controlling influence as a
+boundary, or inclosure, of design, upon which I
+touched in the last chapter, is a very important
+one, and deserves most attentive study.</p>
+
+<p>The usual problem a designer in the flat has to
+solve is to fill harmoniously a given space or panel
+defined by a line&mdash;some simple geometric form&mdash;such
+as a square or a circle, a parallelogram, a diamond,
+a lunette.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Influence of Controlling Lines, etc.</span></p>
+
+<p>Now it is possible to regard such spaces or
+panels as more or less unrelated, and simply as the
+boundaries of an individual composition or picture
+of some kind. Yet even so considered a certain sense
+of geometric control would come in in the selection
+of our lines and masses, both in regard to each other
+and in regard to the shape of the inclosing boundary.
+We seem to feel the need of some answering
+line or re-echo in the character of the composition
+to the shape of its boundary, to give it its
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_110" id="Page_110">[110]</a></span>distinctive reason for existence in that particular
+form&mdash;just as we should expect a shell-fish to conform
+to the shape of its shell. Such a re-echo or
+acknowledgment might be ever so slight, or might
+be quite emphatic and dominate as the leading
+motive, but for perfectly harmonious effect it must
+be there.</p>

+
+<p>A strictly simple and logical linear filling of such
+spaces might be expressed in the most primitive
+way, as in the illustration on p. <a href="#f064">109</a>.</p>
+
+<p>By these means certain primitive types of ornament
+are evolved, such as the Greek volute and
+the Greek key or fret, the logical ornament of a
+logical people.</p>
+
+<p>Such arrangements of line form simple linear
+patterns, and a decorative effect of surface is produced
+simply by their repetition, especially if the
+principle of alternation be observed. This principle
+may be expressed by taking, say, a series of
+squares or circles, and placing them either in a line
+as for a border arrangement, or for extension vertically
+and laterally over a surface, and filling only
+the alternate square or circle, leaving the alternate
+ones, or dropping them out altogether (see illustration,
+p. <a href="#f065">111</a>).</p>

+
+<p>When we desire to go beyond such primitive
+linear ornaments, however, and introduce natural
+form, we should still be guided by the same principles,
+if we desire to produce a strictly decorative
+effect, while varying them in application to any
+extent.</p>
+
+<p>It matters not what forms we deal with, floral,
+animal, human; directly we come to combine them
+in a design, to control them by a boundary, to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_113" id="Page_113">[113]</a></span>inclose them in a space, we shall feel this necessity
+of controlling line, which, however concealed, is
+yet essential to bring them into that harmonious
+relation which is the essence of all design (see
+illustration, p. <a href="#f066">112</a>).</p>

+
+<p>We may take it as a general rule that the more
+purely ornamental the purpose of our design, and
+the more abstract in form it is, the more emphatically
+we may carry out the principle of correspondence
+of line between that of the inclosing
+boundary and that of the design itself; and, <i>vice
+vers&acirc;</i>, as the design becomes more pictorial in its
+appeal and more complex and varied in its elements,
+the more we may combine the leading
+motive or principle of line with secondary ones, or
+with variations, since every fresh element, every
+new direction of line, every new form introduced,
+demands some kind of re-echo to bring it into
+relation with the other elements of the design, or
+parts of the composition, whatever may be its
+nature and purpose.</p>
+
+<p>Now, if we seek further the meaning and origin
+of this necessity of the control of geometric lines
+and spaces in design, I think we shall find it in the
+constructive necessities of architecture: for it is
+certainly from architecture that we derive those
+typical spaces and panels the designer is so often
+called upon to fill.</p>

+
+<p>Lintel architecture&mdash;the Egyptian and the Greek&mdash;gave

+the Cella of the Parthenon, or divided by triglyphs,
+which represented the ends of the beams of the
+primitive timber construction; and the interstices
+left between these determined the shape of the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_115" id="Page_115">[115]</a></span>
+sculptured panel or slab inserted, and influenced
+the character of its masses and the lines of its design,

+
+<p>The same may be said of the pediments. The
+angle of the low-pitched roof left another interstice
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[116]</a></span>for the sculptor at each end of the building; and I

+within it, and even upon the lines taken by some
+of the figures, especially the reclining figures near

+
+<p>Certain lines become inseparably associated with
+constructive expression, and are used to emphasize
+it, as the vertical flutings of the Doric column, by
+repeating the lines of the column itself, emphasize
+its constructive expression of supporting the weight
+of the horizontal lintels, the lines of which, repeated
+in the mouldings of the frieze and cornice, are associated
+with level restfulness and secure repose.</p>
+
+<p>As examples of design which, while meeting the
+structural necessities and acknowledging the control
+of space and general conditions, as the form
+of the slabs upon which they are sculptured, yet
+expresses independent movement, the figures of
+the octagonal tower of the winds at Athens are
+interesting (see illustration, p. <a href="#f068">115</a>).</p>
+
+<p>Quite a different feeling, corresponding to differences

+new suggestions of ornamental line (see illustration,

+architecture under Roman, Byzantine (see
+illustration, p. <a href="#f070">118</a>), and Renaissance forms, the
+scroll form of ornament developed, the reason being,
+I think, that it gave the necessary element of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[119]</a></span>
+recurring line, whether used in the horizontal frieze
+in association with round arches, or in spandrils of

+<p><span class="sn">Value of the Recurring Line</span></p>
+
+<p>The development of Gothic architecture, with
+its new constructive features and the greater
+variety of geometric spaces, forms, and interstices
+which, as a consequence, were available for the
+designer of associated ornament, whether carved
+work, mosaic, stained glass, or painting, naturally
+led to a corresponding variety in invention and
+decorative adaptation; and we may trace the same
+principle at work in other forms&mdash;I mean the
+principle of corresponding, counterbalancing, and
+recurring line&mdash;Gothic ornament being indeed
+generally an essential part of the structure, and
+architectural features being constantly repeated
+and utilized for their ornamental value, as in the
+case of canopies and tabernacle work.</p>
+
+<p>We see, for instance, in the Decorated period
+the acute gable moulding over the arched recess,
+niche, doorway, or tomb, lightened and vivified by
+a floriated finial springing into vigorous curves
+from a vertical stem, forming an emphatic ogee
+outline which re-echoes the ogee line of the arch
+below, and is taken up in variations by the crockets
+carved upon the sides of the gable; and their
+spiral ascending lines lead the eye up to the finial
+which completes the composition. We may trace
+the same principle in the carved fillings of the subsidiary
+parts, such as the trefoiled panels, the secondary
+mouldings, and the cusps of the arches,
+which continue the line-motive or decorative harmony
+to the last point (see illustration, p. <a href="#f071">120</a>).
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_120" id="Page_120">[120]</a></span>The elegance and lightness of the pinnacles is increased
+in the same way, and further emphasized
+by the long vertical lines of the sunk panels upon
+their sides.</p>

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_126" id="Page_126">[126]</a></span>whether or not the outcome of a tradition which
+seemed to be almost instinctive with medi&aelig;val
+workmen&mdash;a tradition which yet left the individual
+free, and under which design was a thing of life
+and growth, ever adapting itself to new conditions,
+and grafting freely new inventions to flower in
+fresh phantasy upon the ancient stock&mdash;the movement
+in art in the Middle Ages, exhibiting as it
+does a gradual growth and a constant vitality,
+always accompanying and adapting itself to
+structural changes, to life and habit, was really
+more analogous to the development of mechanical
+science in our own day, where each new machine
+is allied to its predecessors, though it supplants
+them. The one law being adaptability, the one
+aim to apply means to ends, and more and more
+perfectly, inessentials and superfluities are shed,
+and invention triumphs. It is, too, a collective
+advance, since each engineer, each inventor, builds
+upon the experience of both his forerunners and
+his fellow-workers, and everything is brought to
+an immediately practical test.</p>
+
+<p>We are not yet in the same healthy condition as
+regards art, and art can never be on the same
+plane as science, though art may learn much
+from science, chiefly perhaps in the direction
+of the inventive adaptation of analogous principles.
+But in art the question is complicated by
+human feeling and association, and her strongest
+appeal is to these, and by these, and as yet we do
+not seem to have any terms or equivalents precise
+enough to describe, or any analysis fine enough to
+discover them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Extension</span></p>
+
+<p>The next consideration in spacing we may term
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_127" id="Page_127">[127]</a></span><i>extension</i>. This bears upon all surface design,
+but more especially upon the design of patterns
+intended to repeat over a large surface, and not
+specially designed for particular spaces. It is a
+great question whether any design can be entirely
+satisfactory unless it has been thought out in relation
+to some particular extent of surface or as
+adapted to some particular wall or room. Modern
+industrial conditions preclude this possibility as
+a rule, and so the only sure ground, beyond individual
+taste and preference, is technical adaptability
+to process or material. We should naturally
+want to give a different character to a textile pattern,
+whether printed or woven, and intended to
+hang in folds, from one for flat extension as a wall-paper;
+and a different character again to such
+designs intended for extension horizontally from
+those intended for vertical space alone. Floor
+patterns, parquets and carpets, for instance, naturally
+demand different treatment from wall patterns,
+as those orders of plants in nature which
+cling and spread on the flat ground differ from
+those which grow high and maintain themselves
+in the air, or climb upon trees. The rule of
+life&mdash;<i>adaptability</i>&mdash;obtains in art as in nature, and,
+beneath individual preference and passing fashion,
+works the silent but real law of relation to conditions.
+This again bears upon the choice of scale,
+and differentiates the design of dress textiles from
+furniture textiles, and the design of varied surfaces
+and objects, which, while demanding their
+own particular treatment, are brought into general
+relation by their association with use and the
+wants of humanity.</p>

+<span class="sn">Geometric Structural Plans, etc.</span></p>
+
+<p>The law governing extension of design over
+surface is again geometric, and our primal circle
+and square are again the factors and progenitors
+of the leading systems which have governed the
+design of diapers and wall patterns and hangings
+of all kinds. Nay, the first weaver of the wattled
+fence discovered the principle of extension in
+design, and showed its inseparable association
+with construction; and the builder with brick or
+stone emphasizes it, producing the elements of
+linear surface pattern, from the mechanical necessity
+of the position of the joints of his structure.
+At a German railway station waiting-room I
+noticed an effective adaptation of this principle
+as a wall decoration in two blues upon a stone
+colour (see illustration, p. <a href="#f077a">128</a>). We may build
+upon such emphatic structural lines, either incorporating
+them with the design motive, as in all
+rectangular wall diapers, or we may suppress or
+conceal the actual constructive lines by placing
+the principal parts or connections of our pattern
+over them, but one cannot construct a satisfactory
+pattern to repeat and extend without them; for
+these constructive lines or plans give the necessary
+organic life and vigour to such designs, and
+are as needful to them as the trellis to the tendrils
+of the vine (see illustration, p. <a href="#f077b">129</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="Surface Extension: Repeating Patterns Built Upon
+(1) Square And (2) Circular Basis."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>The same principle is true of designs upon the
+curvilinear plan. The mere repetition of the
+circle by itself gives us a simple geometric pattern,
+and we are at liberty to emphasize this circular
+plan as the main motive; or, as in the case
+of the rectangular plans, to treat it merely as a
+basis, and develop free scroll motives upon it; or
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_132" id="Page_132">[132]</a></span>
+follow it through its principal variations, as in the
+ogee, formed by dropping out two intermediate
+semicircles; or the various forms of the scale
+arrangement. These simple geometric plans are
+the most generally useful as plans of designs intended
+for repetition and extension over space,
+and they are always safe and sound systems to
+build upon, since a geometric plan is certain to
+join comfortably if our measurements are right.</p>
+

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>We may, however, often feel that we want
+something bolder and freer, and start with a
+motive of sweeping-curves, non-geometric, but
+even then a certain geometric relation will be
+necessary, or an equivalent for it, since each curve
+must be counterbalanced in some way, though
+not necessarily symmetrically, of course; and
+even where a square of pattern&mdash;say to a wall-paper
+repeat of twenty-one inches&mdash;has been designed,
+not consciously upon a geometric base, but
+simply as a composition of lines and masses to
+repeat, the mechanical conditions of the work
+when it comes to be printed will supply a certain
+geometric control, since it necessarily begins in
+the process of repetition a series of squares of
+pattern in which the curves are bound to recur
+in corresponding places. Without a geometric
+plan of some sort, however, we may easily get
+into difficulties with awkward leading lines, gaps,
+or masses, that tumble down, and are only perceived
+when the paper is printed and hung.</p>
+
+<p>The designer should not feel at all restricted or
+cramped by his geometric plan, but treat it as an
+aid and a scaffolding, working in as much variety
+and richness of detail as he likes, bound only by
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_133" id="Page_133">[133]</a></span>the necessity of repeating or counterbalancing his
+forms and lines. In the diagram (p. <a href="#f078">131</a>) the
+plan of making a repeat less obvious by means of
+what is termed "a drop" is given, and this
+system also increases the apparent width of a
+pattern.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Frieze and Field</span></p>
+
+<p>The feeling which demands some kind of contrast
+or relief to a field of repeating pattern, however
+interesting in itself, seems now almost instinctive.
+It is felt, too, in the case of plain surfaces,
+where the eye seeks a moulding to give a
+little variety or pattern-equivalent in play of light
+and shadow upon different planes, lines, or concavities
+and convexities. The common plaster
+cornice placed to unite walls and ceiling, in our
+ordinary houses, is a concession (on the part even
+of the jerriest of builders) to the &aelig;sthetic sense.
+We get the decorated frieze in architecture in
+obedience to the same demand, though originally
+a necessary feature of lintel construction, as we
+have seen, from the days of the festal garland
+hung around the eaves of the classic house, to its
+perpetuation in stone in so many varieties.<a name="FNanchor_1_3" id="FNanchor_1_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a> The
+carved garland depending in a series of graceful
+curves, or contrasted with pendants, or their
+rhythm punctuated, as it were, by ox-heads, as on
+the temple of the Sibyls, Tivoli, formed the
+needed contrast to the plane masonry of the wall
+below. Sculptured figures, with the added interest
+of story, as on the choragic monument of
+Lysicrates, fulfilled the same decorative function
+in a more complex and elaborate way.</p>
+
+<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_1_3" id="Footnote_1_3"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_3"><span class="label">[3]</span></a> See "Bases of Design."</p></div>
+
+<p>To satisfy the same feeling we place a frieze
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_134" id="Page_134">[134]</a></span>above the patterned field of our modern wall-papers.
+Such a frieze may be considered as a
+contrasting border to the pattern of the field,
+much as the border of a carpet, allowing for
+difference of material and position; or the frieze
+may assert itself as the dominant decoration of
+the room. In this case it would be greater in
+depth than the simpler bordering type. The
+interest of the field filling would then be subsidiary,
+and lead up to the frieze. In wall-paper
+friezes the difficulty in designing is to think of a
+motive which will not tire the eye in the necessarily
+frequent repeats of twenty-one inches.
+Longer ones have occasionally been produced,
+the limit being sixty inches. It is often a good
+plan to recur in the main lines or forms of the
+frieze to some variation of the lines or forms of
+the field. If, for instance, the main motive in the
+field was a vertical scroll design, a <i>horizontal</i> scroll
+design upon a large scale used for the frieze
+would answer, the field being kept flat and quiet;
+or the fan, or radiating shell form, used as a frieze,
+above a pattern on the scale plan, would be quite
+harmonious. Relation and balance of line and
+mass, and arrangement of quantities in such
+designs, are the chief considerations.</p>
+
+<p>With painting or modelling an artist is freer,
+as he is at liberty to design a continuous frieze
+of figures, and introduce as much variety as he
+chooses.</p>
+
+<p>A painted frieze of figures above plain oak-panelling
+has a good effect in a large and well-proportioned
+room, and is perhaps one of the
+pleasantest ways of treating interior walls.</p>

+<span class="sn">Ceiling Decoration</span></p>
+
+<p>Ceiling decoration, again, presents problems of
+extension in designing, and the large flat plaster
+ceilings of modern rooms are by no means easy
+to deal with satisfactorily. The simplest way is
+to resort to wall-paper, and here, restricted in size
+of repeat and the usual technical requirements of
+the work, the designer must further consider appropriateness
+of scale, and position in regard to
+eye, relation to the wall, and so forth.</p>
+
+<p>The natural demand is for something simpler
+in treatment than the walls&mdash;a re-echo, in some
+sort, of plans agreeable to the floor, yet with a
+suggestion of something lighter and freer: here
+we may safely come back to rectangular and circular
+plans again for our leading lines and forms.</p>
+
+<p>Painting and modelling, again, offer more elaborate
+treatment and possibilities, and we know
+that beautiful works have been done in both
+ways; but art of this kind seems more appropriate
+to lofty vaulted chambers and churches, such as
+one sees in the palaces of Italy, at Genoa and
+Venice, at Florence and Rome.</p>
+
+<p>I remember a very striking and bold treatment
+of a flat-beamed ceiling in the Castle of Nuremberg,
+where a huge black German eagle was
+painted so as to occupy nearly the whole field of
+the ceiling, but treated in an extremely flat and
+heraldic way, the long feathers of the wings following
+the lines of the beams and falling parallel
+upon them and between them; and upon the
+black wings and body of the eagle different shields
+of arms were displayed in gold and colours, the
+eagle itself being painted upon the natural unpainted
+wood&mdash;oak, I think. The work belonged
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_137" id="Page_137">[137]</a></span>to the thirteenth or fourteenth century, I believe.
+It seemed the very antithesis of Italian finesse
+and fancy, but the fitness of such decoration
+entirely depends upon its relation to its surroundings,
+which in this case were perfectly appropriate.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Co-operative Relation</span></p>
+
+<p>That is the great point to bear in mind in all
+design&mdash;the sense of relation; nothing stands
+alone in art. Lines and forms must harmonize
+with other forms and lines: the elements of any
+design must meet in friendly co-operation; it is
+not a blind struggle for existence, a fierce competition,
+or a strife for ascendency between one
+motive and another, one form and another, or a
+war of conflicting efforts. There may be a struggle
+<i>outside</i> the design, in the mind of the designer.
+He may have tried hard against difficulties to
+express what he felt, and have only reached harmony
+through discord and strife, but the work
+itself should be serene; we should feel that, however
+various its elements, they are not without
+their purpose and relation one to another, that all
+is ordered and organized in harmonious lines, that
+everything has its use and place, that, in short, it
+illustrates that excellent motto, whether for art or
+life: "Each for all, and all for each."</p>

+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">We</span> may take it, then, from the principles
+and examples I have endeavoured to put
+before you in the previous chapters, that there
+are three fundamental elements or essentials of
+Design&mdash;Line, Form, Space.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Fundamental Essentials of Design</span></p>
+
+<p>Line we need, not only for our ground-plan
+and framework, but also to define or express our
+forms. Form we need to give substance and
+mass, interest and variety; and it is obvious that
+Space is required to contain all these elements,
+while Space asserts its influence, as we have seen,
+upon both Line and Form in combination upon
+it, whether object or surface, by the shape of its
+boundary, the extension of its plane, and the angle
+and position of its plane in regard to the eye, as
+well as from the point of view of material and use.</p>
+
+<p>Questions of the character of line and form,
+and their combination and disposition in or over
+spaces, are questions of composition. They demand
+the most careful solution, whatever our subject
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_139" id="Page_139">[139]</a></span>and purpose may be, from the simplest linear
+border up to the most elaborate figure design.
+But although the three essentials to composition
+must be always present, it is always possible to
+rely more upon the qualities of one of them for
+our main motive and interest, keeping the other
+two subsidiary. We might centralize the chief
+interest of our composition upon <i>Line</i>, for instance,
+and make harmonious relation or combination
+of lines our principal object (as in line-design
+and ornament), or we might rather dwell
+upon the contours, masses, and contrasts and
+relationships of <i>Form</i>: as in pictorial design,
+figure compositions of all kinds, and modelling
+and sculpture: or, again, we might choose that
+the peculiar character given by the control of
+certain inclosing spaces should determine the
+interest of our design, as the due filling of particular
+panels and geometric shapes; or seek the
+interest of aerial perspective in the pictorial and
+atmospheric expression of space.</p>
+
+<p>Taking combinations of Line first, and bearing
+in mind what has been said regarding its capacities
+for expression, whether of emotion, direction
+of force, movement, rest, as well as of facts of structure
+and surface, let us see if we can trace the principle
+of harmonious composition, of which these
+things may be considered as parts.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Line in Organic Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>Look at any of the systems of line in the organic
+structures of nature: the radiating ribs of the scallop
+shell, or the spiral of many other varieties; the
+set of the feathers upon the expanded wing of a
+bird; the radiation of the sun's rays; the flowing
+line of the wave movement; the lines of structure
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_141" id="Page_141">[141]</a></span>
+in flowers and leaves; the scales of a fish; the
+scales of a pine-cone or an artichoke. We feel
+that any of these combinations of lines are harmonious
+and beautiful, and we know that they are
+essential to the character and structure. They are
+organic lines, in short. They mean life and growth.
+In principle they are radiating and recurring lines;
+in each form they repeat each other in varying degrees
+of direction and declension of curve. No
+two lines are alike, yet there is no contradiction
+and no unnecessary line, and variety is combined
+with unity. Each affords a perfect instance of
+harmonious composition of line, and gives us definite
+principles upon which to work (see illustration,
+p. <a href="#f080">140</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="Principles Of Structural And Ornamental
+Line In Natural Forms."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>These systems of line in organic nature have
+been adopted and adapted by art, and are found
+throughout the historical forms of ornament which,
+as we have good reason to believe, were often derived
+from mechanical structures, illustrating the
+same principles; which, again, the logic of geometry
+enforces in drawing on plane surfaces.</p>
+
+<p>All organic structures teach us the same lesson
+of relation and recurrence of line. The bones of
+all vertebrate animals, from <i>fish</i> to <i>man</i>, illustrate
+the constant repetition in different degrees of the
+same character and direction of line. The vertebral
+column itself is an instance, and the recurring
+spring of the ribs from it, like the branches from
+the stem of a tree, further expressed in the ramification
+of the jointed bones of the limbs and extremities.
+The principle may be followed out in the
+structure of the muscles in their radiating fibres,
+which the delicate contours and flowing lines of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_144" id="Page_144">[144]</a></span>
+the surface of the body only combine in a greater
+degree of subtlety (see illustration, p. <a href="#f081a">142</a>).</p>

+
+<p>Look at the anatomy of any tree, as it is disclosed

+composition of line rather than of form (see illustration,

+
+<p>Here we see organic life and structure expressed
+in the vigorous spring of inter-dependent and corresponding
+curves, from the rigid sinuous column
+of the main stem springing from the ground, presently
+divided into the main forks of the branches,
+which again subdivide and subdivide into smaller
+forks, so that the tree may sustain and spread its
+life in the air and the sun, both supporting and
+continuing its existence by this wonderful economic
+system of co-operative, subdivided, and graduated
+helpfulness.</p>
+
+<p>The massive green pavilion of summer, which
+this delicate vaulting of branch-work sustains,
+gives us another, more sumptuous, but perhaps
+not a greater beauty in the combination or
+substitution of form and mass for line composition.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Form and Mass in Foliage</span></p>
+
+<p>We might express, in an abstract way, the principle
+of the line-structure of the ramifying tree by
+super-imposing vertically fork upon fork in gradually
+diminishing scale, either curvilinear or rectangular;
+and the principle of the mass-structure
+in the formation of the foliage might be expressed
+by a series of overlapping curves, suggestive of
+scales or cloud masses: to both of which indeed
+they correspond in principle, illustrating the scale
+principle in detail and the cloud principle in the
+mass; thus repeating the same general law of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[146]</a></span>
+natural roofing, or covering, in different materials
+(see illustration, p. <a href="#f082">145</a>).</p>

+<p>In a mass of foliage each leaf falls partly over

+and suspension upon the stem they are of course
+bound to do, whether symmetric or alternate in their
+arrangement, the gaps caused by decay or accident
+being generally filled by new shoots. Each shoot,
+eager to expand its leaves in the light, ever spreading,
+forms mass after mass of the beautiful green
+panoply&mdash;the coat armour of the forest, arboreal
+man's first form of domestic architecture.</p>

+<p>The principle of structure here is just the same
+as the overlapping principle of the tiles and slates
+upon our ordinary house-roofs; but each leafy tile

+varied and beautiful in form and colour, instead of
+being mechanical and uniform, as we try to make

+
+<p><span class="sn">German Roofs</span></p>

+different coloured glazed tiles&mdash;red, green, and
+yellow&mdash;arranged in simple patterns. One of the
+old towers at Lindau has such a roof, and the colour
+effect is very rich and striking.</p>
+
+<p>But I must not be led into a disquisition upon
+roofs further than in so far as they illustrate the
+subject of composition of line and form, and from
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_148" id="Page_148">[148]</a></span>the painter's point of view they frequently do in a

+<p>What, for instance, can be more varied and
+charming than the compositions we constantly meet
+with in the rich backgrounds of Albert D&uuml;rer?
+Those steep barn roofs, and those quaint German
+towns inclosed in walls with protecting towers&mdash;nests
+of steep tiled gables of every imaginable degree&mdash;which
+give so much character and interest
+to his designs, as in the background of his copper-plates
+"The Prodigal Son" and "St. Anthony" here
+given. Their prototypes still exist here and there
+in Germany, in such towns as Rothenburg, practically
+unchanged since the sixteenth century, and
+give one an excellent idea of what such houses
+were like. A visit there is like a leap back into
+the Middle Ages. Every street is a varied and
+interesting composition. No two houses are alike.
+They were built by the citizens to really pass their
+lives in. The town is strongly placed upon the
+crest of a hill, with a river at its foot, and well fortified
+and protected by massive encircling walls
+and towers and deep gates, which give it so strong
+and picturesque a character, while the timber and
+tile-roofed gallery for the warders still exists along
+the inside of the walls. Such cities arose by the
+strength of the social bond among men&mdash;the necessity
+for mutual help in the maintenance of a higher
+standard of life, and mutual protection against the
+ravages of sinister powers.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Medi&aelig;val City</span></p>
+
+<p>Strong externally, internally they were made as
+home-like and full of the varied delight of the eyes,
+as if the people had reasoned, "Since we must live
+close together in a small place, let us make it as
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_149" id="Page_149">[149]</a></span>delightful and romantic as we can." We know
+that the idea of Paradise and the New Jerusalem
+to the imagination of the Middle Ages was always
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_150" id="Page_150">[150]</a></span>the fair walled garden and the fenced city. The
+painters embodied the idea of security and protection
+from the savage and destructive forces of
+nature and man&mdash;a sanctuary of peace, a garden
+of delight.</p>

+and sticks to make our individualist-domestic
+composition of comfort and artistic completeness,

+are fair by reason of surrounding degradation. The
+common collective comfort and delight of the eyes
+is too often ignored, so that it comes about that, if
+our modern cities possess any elements of beauty or
+picturesqueness, it is rather owing to accidents and
+to the transfiguring effects of atmosphere than to the
+beauty or variety of architectural form and colour.

+from the external aspects of daily life in towns
+has probably a greater effect than we are apt to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_151" id="Page_151">[151]</a></span>realize in deadening the imagination, and it certainly
+seems to produce a certain insensibility to
+beauty of line and composition, since the perception
+must necessarily be blunted by being inured
+to the commonplace and sordid. The instinct for
+harmony of line and form becomes weakened, and
+can only be slowly revived by long and careful
+study in art, instead of finding its constant and
+most vital stimulus in every street.</p>
+
+<p>For all that, however, an eye trained to observe
+and select may, even in the dullest and dingiest
+street, find artistic suggestions, if not in the buildings,
+then in the life. And where there is life,
+movement, humanity, there is sure to be character
+and interest. Groups of children playing will give
+us plenty of suggestions for figure composition.
+Workpeople going to and from their work, the
+common works going on in the street, the waggons
+and horses, the shoal of faces, the ceaseless stream
+of life&mdash;all these things, whether we are able to reproduce
+them as direct illustrations of the life of our
+time, or are moved only to select from them vivid
+suggestions to give force to ideal conceptions,
+should all be noted&mdash;photographed, as it were, instantaneously
+upon the sensitive plate of the mind's
+vision. We can only learn the laws of movement
+by observing movement&mdash;the swing and poise of
+the figure, the relation of the lines of limbs and
+drapery to the direction of force and centre of
+gravity, so important in composition. We must
+constantly supplement our school and studio work
+by these direct impressions of vivid life and movement,
+and neglect no opportunity or despise no
+source or suggestion.</p>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Formal Composition</span></p>
+
+<p>We may perceive that there are at least two
+kinds of composition, which may be distinguished as:</p>
+
+<ol style="list-style-type:upper-roman">
+<li>Formal.</li>
+<li>Informal.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>I. Under the head of Formal may be classed
+all those systems of structural line with which I
+started, and which are found either as leading
+motives or fundamental plans and bases throughout
+ornamental design. Yet even these may be
+used in composition of figures and other forms
+where the object is more or less formal and decorative,
+as governing plans or controlling lines.</p>
+
+<p>The radiating ribs of a fan, for instance, might
+be utilized as the natural boundaries and inclosing
+lines of a series of vertical figures following the
+radiating lines. A strictly logical design of the
+kind would be a series of figures with uplifted
+arms, forming radiating lines from the shoulders,
+somewhat in the position of Blake's well-known
+and beautiful composition of the Morning Stars in
+the Book of Job, already illustrated.</p>
+
+<p>Using the overlapping vertical scale plan we
+should get relative positions for a formal composition
+of three figures, although they need not necessarily
+be formal in detail. A typical design of
+three associated ideas treated emblematically
+would be the most natural use of such an arrangement&mdash;as
+Faith, Hope, and Charity; Liberty,
+Equality, Fraternity; Science, Art, and Industry;
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_154" id="Page_154">[154]</a></span>
+or the three goddesses Her&eacute;, Pallas, and
+Aphrodite, as choice and purpose might decide.
+A semicircular scale plan would not only repeat
+in a safe and sound manner, but would afford
+suggestive shapes in which to throw designs of
+figures, and could be effectively utilized either for
+a wall or ceiling repeat.</p>
+
+<p>The inclosure formed by two spiral lines gives
+a graceful ornamental shape for a half-reclining
+figure; while a series of floating or flying figures
+linking their hands would be appropriately
+governed by similar spiral lines, uniting them with
+the meandering wave line (see illustration, p. <a href="#f087">155</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_155" id="Page_155">[155]</a></span>

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Upon a series of semicircles or ellipses, alternating
+horizontally, might be arranged a little
+frieze of children with skipping ropes, or Amorini
+with pendent garlands; the up-and-down movement
+in the former case being conveyed by a
+variation, each alternate semicircle being struck
+upwards. This would restore the emphatic wave
+or spiral line, which always conveys the sense of
+rhythmic movement in a design.</p>
+
+<p>Such a line, vertically employed, will give again
+a good plan for a series of seated figures, say emblematic
+of the Hours, where similarity of attitude
+and type would be appropriate, while the emblems
+and accessories might be varied. A severer treatment
+would be suggested by making the controlling
+line angular (see illustration, p. <a href="#f088">156</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+
+<p>Such are a few illustrations of what I have
+termed formal composition, in which the geometric
+and structural plans of pure ornament or
+ornamental line maybe utilized to combine, control,
+or even suggest figure designs.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[157]</a></span>
+<span class="sn">Informal Composition</span></p>
+
+<p>II. While formal compositions, though naturally
+falling into classes and types, may be varied
+to a very great extent, when we come to informal
+compositions the variations are unlimited, and a
+vista of extraordinary and apparently endless
+choice, invention, and selection opens out before
+the designer, co-extensive with the variety of
+nature herself.</p>
+
+<p>In seeking harmonious and expressive composition
+in the pictorial direction the guides are much
+less definite and secure. Individual feeling and
+instinct, which must have an important influence
+in all kinds of designing, are in this direction
+paramount. Yet even here, if we look beneath the
+apparent freedom and informality, we find certain
+laws at work which seem to differ only in degree
+from the more definite and constructive control of
+line which we have been considering. In the first
+place, there are our direct impressions from nature;
+and, secondly, our conscious aims and efforts to
+express an idea in our minds. We have the same
+restricted and definite forms of language and
+materials in each case&mdash;line, form, space, brushes,
+pencil, colour, paper, canvas, or clay. We are
+taken by some particular scene: the composition
+of line and form at a particular spot attracts us
+more than another. We do not stop as a rule to
+ask why, since it usually takes all our time
+and our best skill to get into shape what we are
+seeking&mdash;and carry away with us an artistic record
+of the place. We have seen that in the case of
+certain natural structures, shells, leaves, flowers,
+the fundamental structural lines are so beautiful
+that they not only form ornament in themselves,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_158" id="Page_158">[158]</a></span>but furnish the basis for whole types and families
+of ornament. When we look at a landscape,
+putting aside for the moment all the surface
+charms of colour and effect, and concentrating our
+attention upon its lines of structures, we shall find
+that it owes a great part of its beauty to the harmonious
+relation of its leading lines, or to certain
+pleasant contrasts, or a certain impressiveness of
+form and mass, and at the same time we shall
+perceive that this linear expression is inseparable
+from the sentiment or emotion suggested by that
+particular scene.</p>
+
+<p>A gentle southern landscape&mdash;undulating
+downs, and wandering sheep-walks; the soft
+rounded masses of the sheep upon smooth
+cropped turf&mdash;all these are so many notes or
+words in the language of line and form which go
+to express the idea of pastoral life. They are inextricably
+bound up with inseparable associations
+conveyed by such lines and forms. The undulating
+lines of resting or dancing figures would
+only give point, true emphasis, and variety, and a
+note of contrast in the forms would serve to bring
+out the general sentiment more strongly.</p>
+
+<p>Substitute rugged rocks, swollen torrents, wind-tossed
+trees and stormy skies, and all is changed.
+Such things cannot be expressed without much
+more emphatic lines and masses, and the use of
+opposing angles and energetic curves of movement
+which would be destructive of the sentiment
+of peace, in other cases. Yet even then to convey
+the expression of energy and rapid movement,
+concerted groups of lines are none the less necessary
+(see illustration, p. <a href="#f089">159</a>).</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_159" id="Page_159">[159]</a></span></p>

+</a>
+</div>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_160" id="Page_160">[160]</a></span>Such comparisons indicate not only that there
+is a necessary association of ideas with certain
+lines and forms, but also that certain relations
+and associations of line of a similar character
+are necessary to produce a harmonious composition,
+and one which conveys a definite and pervading
+sentiment or emotion, just as we saw that
+the controlling lines of structural curves, spirals,
+and angles require to be in relation, and to be re-echoed
+by the character of the design they inclose
+or which is built upon them.</p>
+
+<p>The same law holds true in figure composition.
+The sense of repose and restfulness necessary to
+sitting or reclining groups depends upon the gentle
+declivities of the curves and their gradual descent
+to the horizontal.</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_161" id="Page_161">[161]</a></span>

+		alt="Informal Composition: Expression

+		title="Informal Composition: Expression
+Of Repose And Action."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Draw a figure sitting rigid, tense, and alert,
+and you destroy the sense of repose at once, and
+you are obliged also to resort to angles, still more
+emphatic where strong action is to be expressed;
+while to express continual or progressive movement,
+a choice of associated lines of action in different
+stages of progress leading up to the crescendo
+of the final one (as in a group of mowers)
+would be necessary (see illustrations, p. <a href="#f090">161</a>). We
+cannot, then, in any composition have too definite
+a conception. We must, at any sacrifice of detail,
+bring out the main expression and meaning.
+Every group of figures must be in the strictest
+relation to each other and to the central interest
+or expression of the design. You cannot, for instance,
+in a procession of figures, make your faces
+turn all sorts of ways without stopping the onward
+movement which is essential to the idea of a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_162" id="Page_162">[162]</a></span>
+procession. This would not preclude variety, but the
+general tendency must be in one direction. Every
+line in a composition must lead up to the central
+idea, and be subordinated or contributory to it
+(see illustration, Nos. 1 and 2, p. <a href="#f091a">163</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_163" id="Page_163">[163]</a></span>

+		alt="(1) and (2) Movement in a Procession"
+		title="(1) and (2) Movement in a Procession"
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>The same with masses: you cannot put a
+number of forms together without some sort of
+relation, either of general character and contour
+or some uniting line. We may learn this principle
+from nature also. Look at a heap of broken stones
+and d&eacute;bris, which in detail may contain all sorts of
+varieties of form, as we find them tumbled down
+a steep place, as the rocky bed of a mountain
+stream, a heap of boulders upon a hillside, or the
+d&eacute;bris from a quarry or mine; in each case the law
+of gravity and the persistence of force working
+together arrange the diverse forms in masses
+controlled by the lines, which express the direction
+and degree of descent, and the pressure of
+force. The same thing may be seen on any hilly
+ground after heavy rain; the scattered pebbles
+are arranged in related groups, combined and
+composed by the flow of miniature streams, which
+channel the face of the ground and form hollows
+for their reception (see Nos. 3 and 4, p. <a href="#f091b">163</a>). The
+force of the tides and currents upon the sea-shore
+illustrates the same principle and affords us magnificent
+lessons in composition, not only in the
+delicate lines taken by the sculptured sand, but in
+the harmonious grouping of masses of shingle and
+shells, weeds and drift, arranged by the movement
+of the waves.</p>

+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">We</span> come now to the consideration of the
+various means and methods of expressing
+relief in line and form.</p>
+
+<p>We may define a form in outline and give it
+different qualities of expression by altering the
+quality and consistency of our outline, and we may
+obtain very different kinds of decorative effect by
+the use of lines of various degrees of thickness or
+thinness; but if we want to give it force and colour,
+and to distinguish it from its background more emphatically,
+we must add to our outline.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Three Methods of Expressing Relief</span></p>
+
+<p>There are three principal methods or systems of
+giving relief by adding to our outline.</p>
+
+<p>One is the method of giving relief to form by
+contrasts of tone, colour, or tint.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_166" id="Page_166">[166]</a></span>Another by means of the expression of light and
+shade: and the third by means of modelling in
+relief.</p>
+
+<p>Now, still keeping to expression by means of line,
+the three arms I have sketched (p. <a href="#f092">167</a>) illustrate:
+(1) the form in outline alone; (2) the contrast
+method; and (3) the light and shade method. The
+three pots underneath illustrate the same three
+stages in a simpler manner.</p>
+
+<p>In number one we see the outline defining the
+form pure and simple: in number two the form is
+relieved by a half-tone formed of diagonal lines,
+forming a plane or background behind it. The arm
+is still further relieved by the dark drapery. Number
+three shows the relief carried further by lines
+expressive of the modelling of the arm and the
+rounding of the pot, and also by cast shadows from
+the forms.</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+		title="The Relief of Form:

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>The system of expressing relief I have termed
+relief by contrast includes two kinds of contrast:
+there are the contrasts of line and form, and there
+are the contrasts of planes of tone or tint and local
+colour. We may consider that the contrast method
+covers generally all forms of pattern and certain
+kinds of pictorial design. The method of expressing
+relief by means of line covers generally all
+forms of design in black and white, graphic sketching,
+pen-drawing, and work with the point of all
+kinds.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Of the Use of Contrast and Planes</span></p>
+
+<p>Taking the principle of contrast as applied to
+pattern design, we can, even within the limited
+range of black and white and half-tint (as expressed
+by lines), get a considerable amount of decorative
+effect. In the first place by bringing out our pattern,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_168" id="Page_168">[168]</a></span>
+previously outlined, upon a black ground (as
+in Nos. 1 and 2, p. <a href="#f093">169</a>), increasing the richness of
+effect, and getting a second plane by treating the
+lower part in an open tint of line.</p>
+
+<p>Simple contrasts of dark upon light or light upon
+dark are effective, and sufficient for many purposes,
+such as borders (as in Nos. 2 and 3, p. <a href="#f093">169</a>).</p>
+
+<p>When a lighter kind of relief and effect is required,
+the recurring forms in a border are often
+sufficiently emphasized by a tint of open lines:
+movement and variety being given by making them
+follow the minor curves of the successive forms, as
+in this instance (No 4, p. <a href="#f093">169</a>) the movement of
+the water is suggested behind the fish.</p>
+
+<p>The relation of the plain ground-work to the
+figure of the pattern is also an important point;
+indeed the plain parts of the pattern, or the interstices
+and intervals of the pattern, are as essential
+to the pattern as the figured parts.</p>
+
+<p>In designs intended for various processes of
+manufacture, such as printed or woven textiles,
+wall-papers, etc., where blocks or rollers are used
+to repeat the pattern, the extent of plain in proportion
+to figured parts must be governed in some
+measure by the practicable size of the repeat: but
+within certain limits great variety of proportion is
+possible.</p>
+
+<p>A simple but essentially decorative principle is
+to preserve a certain equality between the figured
+masses and the ground masses. The leaf patterns
+(Nos. 6 and 7, p. <a href="#f093">169</a>) consist simply of the repetition
+and reversal of a single element. An emphatic
+effect is obtained by bringing the leaves out black
+upon a white ground (as in No. 6), while a flatter
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_170" id="Page_170">[170]</a></span>
+and softer effect is the result of throwing them
+upon a plane of half-tint expressed by horizontal
+lines, with a similar effect of relief to that which
+would be given by the warp, if the pattern were
+woven.</p>
+
+<p>For larger surfaces, greater repose and dignity
+in pattern may be obtained by a greater proportion
+of the repeat being occupied by the ground (as in
+No. 5, p. <a href="#f093">169</a>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_169" id="Page_169">[169]</a></span>

+		title="Relief of Form and Line in Pattern
+Design by Means of Contrast and the Use of Planes."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Indeed we may consider as a general principle
+that the larger the interspaces of the ground, plane,
+or field of the pattern, the lighter in tint they should
+be, or the necessary flatness is apt to be lost. Relief
+in pattern design may be said to be adding
+interest and richness without losing the flatness
+and repose of the design as a whole. When pattern
+and ground are fairly equally balanced in quantity
+the ground may be rich and dark, and darkest as
+the interstices, where the ground is shown, become
+less. The figure of a pattern relieved as light upon
+a dark plane, as a rule, requires to be fuller in form
+than dark-figuring upon a light ground.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Decorative Relief</span></p>
+
+<p>In decorative work the use of contrast in the
+relief of parts of a design is often useful and effective,
+as, for instance, the dark shading or treatment
+in black or flat tone of the alternating under side
+of a turn-over leaf border.</p>
+
+<p>The decorative value of this principle is recognized
+by heraldic designers in the treatment of the
+mantling of the helmet, which in earlier times is
+treated simply as a hanging or flying strip of drapery
+with a lining of a different colour, by which it is
+relieved as it hangs in simple spiral folds. This
+ornamental element became developed by the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_171" id="Page_171">[171]</a></span>designers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries into
+elaborate scroll designs springing from the circlet
+of the helmet and surrounding the shield: but the
+principle of the turned-up lining remained, often
+variegated and enriched with heraldic patterns
+(see illustrations, pp. <a href="#f094a">172</a>, <a href="#f094b">173</a>).<a name="FNanchor_1_4" id="FNanchor_1_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a></p>
+
+<div class="footnote">
+<p><a name="Footnote_1_4" id="Footnote_1_4"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_4"><span class="label">[4]</span></a>
+The increased importance given to the mantling in later
+times may have been due to the disappearance of the housings
+of the knight's horse and his surcoat, which originally displayed
+his arms and colours. The mantling of later times displayed
+the heraldic colours of the knight, when, being clad in plate
+armour, there was no other means of displaying them except
+on the shield. Decoratively, of course, the mantling is of great
+value to the heraldic designer, enabling him to form much more
+graceful compositions, to combine diverse and rigid elements
+with free and flowing lines and masses, and to fill panels with
+greater richness and effect, whether carved or painted, or both.</p></div>

+
+<p><span class="sn">Use of Diapered Backgrounds</span></p>
+
+<p>The principle, too, of counterchange in heraldry
+answers to our principle of relief by contrast, and
+though its chief charm lies in its ornamental range
+of form and colour combinations, it can be expressed
+in black and white, and it remains a universal
+principle throughout decorative art. The decorative
+effect and charm of the relief of large and
+bold forms upon rich and delicate diapers is also
+an important resource of the designer. The monumental
+art of the Middle Ages affords multitudes
+of examples of this principle in ornamental treatment.
+The miniaturist of the twelfth and thirteenth
+centuries constantly relieved his groups of figures
+upon a diapered ground. The architectural sculptor
+relieved the broad masses of flowing drapery
+and the bold projection of his effigies and recumbent
+figures by delicately chiselled diapers upon
+the surface of the wall behind them. This treatment
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_174" id="Page_174">[174]</a></span>
+may frequently be seen in the recessed
+tombs of the fourteenth century.</p>
+
+<p>The incisor of memorial brasses, again, more
+especially in continental examples, shows a fondness
+for the same principle. The long vertical
+lines of drapery of ladies and ecclesiastics, the
+broad masses of the heraldic surcoat, or armour of
+the knights, the rich and heavy furred gowns of
+the burghers, are often relieved upon beautiful
+diapered or arabesque grounds, generally embodying
+some heraldic device, motto, or emblem of the
+person or family whose tomb it ornaments. Such
+decoration is strictly linear, yet within its own
+limits, and perhaps because of them, we find in
+this province of design extremely admirable work,
+no less for delineation of character and decorative
+treatment than for ornamental invention controlled
+by strict economy of line.</p>

+
+<p>This brings us to the consideration of our second
+method of relief by means of line.</p>
+
+<p>Take any simple allied elements to form a repeating
+pattern, say spiral shells, place them at
+certain rhythmic intervals, and we can unite and
+at the same time give them relief by filling in the
+ground by a series of waved lines to suggest the
+ribbed sand. Add a few dots to soften and vary
+the effect, and we get a pattern of a certain
+balance and consistency (No. 1, p. <a href="#f096a">177</a>).</p>

+
+<p>With the more varied and complex floral form,
+but treated in a very abstract way, placing the
+daisies in a line, horizontally, and reversing the
+sprig for the alternate row, we have another
+motive, which is connected and steadied as well
+as relieved by the suggestion of grass blades in
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_176" id="Page_176">[176]</a></span>
+groups of three slightly radiated vertical strokes
+(No. 2, p. <a href="#f096b">177</a>). A pattern of two elements,
+again, may be formed in a still more simple way
+by linear contrast, as in No. 3, where the pyramidal
+trees are formed by a continuous serpentine
+stroke of the pen terminating in a spiral stem.
+The diagonal arrangement of the trees produces a
+chequer, the intervals of which can be varied by
+the contrasting black masses of the birds.</p>

+<p>In graphic drawing, lines to express forms in
+the relief of light and shade are often needed to
+give additional force even where no great degree
+of realism is desired. A tint formed by horizontal
+lines is sufficient to relieve a face from the background
+and give it solidity, while local colour may
+be given to the hair, and at the same time serve
+to relieve the leaves of a wreath encircling the
+head (see illustration, p. <a href="#f097a">178</a>).</p>

+
+<p>The rich effect of clustered apples growing
+among their leaves could hardly be suggested
+without the use of lines expressive of light and
+shade, the interstices of the deepest shade running
+into solid black (p. <a href="#f097a">178</a>). In adding lines in
+this kind of way to give relief or extra richness
+or force, the draughtsman is really designing a
+system of lines upon his outline basis, which may
+have quite as decorative a quality as the outline
+itself. At the same time nothing is more characteristic
+of the artist than the way in which such
+lines are used, and of course the choice of direction
+and arrangement of such lines will make all the
+difference in the effect of the drawing.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Diagonal Shading</span></p>
+
+<p>Where the object is to express the figure in
+broad masses of light and shade, the use of a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_178" id="Page_178">[178]</a></span>
+series of diagonal lines is an effective, and probably
+the most ready and rapid, method when
+working with the pen (see p. <a href="#f097b">179</a>). This system
+of expressing the broad surfaces of shade was
+much used by the Italian masters of the Renaissance
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_180" id="Page_180">[180]</a></span>
+in their rapid pen sketches and studies of
+figures, and a certain breadth and style is given
+to their drawings owing in part to the simplicity
+of this linear treatment.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Emphasis</span></p>
+
+<p>No doubt the simpler the system of line
+adopted in giving relief to figures the better, if
+the particular expression aimed at is accomplished,
+and, as a general rule, we should endeavour to
+get the necessary force and depth without the use
+of cross-line, or many different directions of line
+in shading a figure: but, given any power of
+draughtsmanship, the individuality of the artist is
+bound to come in, and it is not likely, nor is it to
+be desired, that any two artists in line should give
+exactly the same account of natural fact, or reproduce
+the images in their minds in the same forms,
+any more than we should expect two writers to
+express their ideas in the same terms.</p>
+
+<p>The kind and degree of emphasis upon different
+parts, the selection of moment or fact, would all
+naturally make considerable differences in the
+treatment. The three sketches of the skirt
+dancer are given as instances of the different
+effects and expression to be obtained in rendering
+the same subject (p. <a href="#f098">181</a>).</p>

+
+<p>In <span class="smcap">a</span> the broad relief of the white dress against
+the tones of the floor and background, and the
+darker note of the hair, are the facts chiefly dwelt
+upon. In <span class="smcap">b</span> the form of the figure is brought out
+in broad light and shade and cast shadow, and the
+dress relieved by radiating folds. In <span class="smcap">c</span> quicker
+movement is given, the lines of the successive
+wave-shaped folds radiating spirally from the
+shoulders being the chief means of conveying this,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_182" id="Page_182">[182]</a></span>
+while the head and arms are thrown into strong
+relief against a dark background, the cast shadow
+being of a lighter tone.</p>
+
+<p>The direction of line used in relieving forms,
+and expressing modelling and details, must depend
+much upon individual taste and feeling as well as
+knowledge of form. The element of beauty of
+design also comes in, and the question between
+this and force or literalness&mdash;the difference between
+a study or direct transcript from nature,
+and a design with a purely ornamental aim, or a
+composition directed mainly to the expression of
+a particular idea or emotion.</p>
+
+<p>Such considerations will ultimately determine
+the choice and use of line, the degree of relief and
+emphasis, for these and the direction of the line
+itself are the syllables and the words which will
+convey the purport of the work to the mind of the
+beholder.</p>
+
+<p>Study of the masters of line&mdash;D&uuml;rer, Titian,
+Mantegna, Holbein&mdash;will inform us as to its
+capacities and limitations. The limitations, too,
+of method and material will be a powerful factor
+in the determination of style in the use of line and
+in the economy of its use.</p>
+
+<p>The bold firm line suitable to the facsimile
+woodcut, the broad and simple treatment of line
+with solid black useful in the plank-cut line block
+to be used with colour blocks, the comparatively
+free and unconditioned pen-drawing for the surface-printed
+process block&mdash;all these will finally
+give a certain character to our work beyond our
+own idiosyncrasies in the use of the pen or the

+<p>A figure or object of any kind, seen in full light

+dark against light, or as light against dark, and we
+recognize it as a solid form in this way; the boundaries
+of natural light and shade defining it, and
+projecting it from the background upon the vision.
+There may be infinite modulations, of course,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_186" id="Page_186">[186]</a></span>
+between the light part, the half-tones, and the darkest

+<p>If the draughtsman's object be to represent the
+<i>appearance</i> of a figure or any object in full natural
+light and shade with the pen or other point, he
+could do so without using outline at all, but by
+simply observing this principle and defining the
+boundaries of light on dark or half-tone in their
+proper masses and relations. The pen sketch of
+the man with the hoe (p. <a href="#f103a">188</a>) is intended to illustrate

+
+<p>There is also the method of representing form
+in relief by means of working with white line only
+upon a dark ground, the modelling and planes of
+surface being entirely expressed in this way (as in
+<span class="smcap">a</span>, p. <a href="#f103b">189</a>). This may be termed drawing by means
+of <i>light</i>, and may be contrasted with the opposite
+method of working by means of black line only
+on a light ground, or drawing by means of <i>shade</i>
+(as in <span class="smcap">b</span>, p. <a href="#f103b">189</a>).</p>

+
+<p>Yet another method, and one in which the effect
+of relief can be obtained more readily and rapidly,
+perhaps, is by working on a half-toned paper, drawing
+in the form with pencil, chalk, or brush, blocking
+in the darker shadows and heightening the
+highest lights with touches of white. These white
+touches, however, should be strictly limited to the
+highest lights. This method is represented by
+the half-tone blocks used in this book, those which
+were taken from drawings made on brown paper
+and touched with white.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Principle of the Photograph</span></p>
+
+<p>The definition of form by means of light is strictly
+the principle of the photograph, which comprehends
+and illustrates its complementary of relief by means
+of shade, and I think it is due to the influence of
+the photograph that modern black-and-white artists
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_190" id="Page_190">[190]</a></span>
+have so often worked on these principles. The
+drawings of Frederick Walker and Charles Keene
+may be referred to as examples. I shall, however,
+hope to return to this branch of the subject later.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Relief in Architectural Mouldings</span></p>
+
+<p>So far we have been considering the relief of
+form by means of line. We now come to what
+may be termed the relief of form by actual form
+and plane, or modelling in actual light and shade,
+as in architecture and sculptors' and carvers' work.
+Then relief is gained by the contrast of actually
+different planes, forms, surfaces, and textures. The
+simplest illustrations of the principles of modelled
+relief are to be found in architectural mouldings,
+by means of which buildings are relieved and enriched,
+and important structural or functional parts
+are emphasized, as in cornices and ribs of vaults,
+arches, and openings.</p>
+
+<p>Place a concave moulding side by side with a
+convex one either horizontally or vertically, and a
+certain pleasant effect of contrasting light and shade
+is the result, reminding one of the recurring concave
+and convex of the rolling waves of the sea
+(<span class="smcap">a</span>, p. <a href="#f104">191</a>).</p>
+
+<p>A series of flat planes of different widths and at
+different levels also produces a pleasant kind of
+relief useful in a picture frame or the jamb of a
+door (<span class="smcap">b</span>).</p>
+
+<p>All architectural mouldings might be said to be
+modifications or combinations of the principles
+illustrated by these two.</p>
+
+<p>Very different feeling may be expressed in
+mouldings, and if we compare the two types, the
+classical and the Gothic, the comparatively broad
+and simple effect of the former (<span class="smcap">c, d, e, f, g</span>)
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_192" id="Page_192">[192]</a></span>
+contrasts with the richness and variety and the stronger
+effect of light and shade, produced by deep undercutting,
+in the latter (<span class="smcap">h, i, j, k</span>).</p>
+
+<div class="center">

+
+<p>The Romans, however, produced rich and highly
+ornate effects in the use of these types of mouldings,
+as they reappeared in the Corinthian order, the
+ovolo cut into the egg and dart, with the Astralagus
+beneath, the Cyma recta above the brackets of the
+cornice casting a bold shadow, and both in the
+cornice and the hollow beneath the dentils enriched
+with carving, as seen in the splendid fragment of
+the Forum of Nerva.</p>

+
+<p>When we pass to the more complex problems
+of figure modelling and sculpture, it is but carrying
+on and developing the same principle of the contrast
+of planes, of the relief of plane upon plane,
+of forms upon one plane, to forms upon forms in
+many planes. From the contrast of bead and
+hollow we come to consider the contrast between
+the rounded limb and the sinuous folds of drapery;
+from the rhythm of the acanthus scroll we turn to
+the less obvious but none the less existing rhythm
+of the sculptural frieze.</p>
+
+<p>Line, we may say, controls the modeller's and
+sculptor's composition, but form and its treatment
+in light and shade give him his means of ornament.
+The delicate contours of faces and limbs contrasted
+with the spiral and radiating folds of drapery, or
+rich clusters of leaves and fruits, the forms of
+animals and the wings of birds&mdash;these are his decorative
+resources.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Egyptian Reliefs</span></p>
+
+<p>The early stages of sculpture in relief may be
+seen in the monumental work of ancient Egypt.</p>
+
+<p>Simple incised work appears to have been the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_194" id="Page_194">[194]</a></span>first stage, and the forms afterwards slightly
+modelled or rounded at the edges into the hollow
+of the sunk outline.</p>
+
+<p>Large figures and tables of hieroglyphic inscription
+were thus cut upon vast mural surfaces, and
+carried across the joints of the masonry, without
+disturbing the flatness and repose of the wall surface
+(p. <a href="#f106">195</a>). The Egyptians, indeed, seem to
+have treated their walls more as if they were books
+for record and statement, symbol and hieroglyphic.</p>

+
+<p>Messrs. Perrot and Chipiez, in their "History
+of Ancient Art in Egypt," speak of three processes
+in the treatment of Egyptian reliefs (vol. ii., p.
+284):
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li>That followed by the Greeks, in which the
+figures are left standing out from a smooth bed,
+sometimes slightly hollowed near the contours
+(see illustration, p. <a href="#f106">196</a>).</li>
+
+<li>Where the figures are modelled in relief in
+a sunk hollow, from an inch to one and a half inch deep.</li>
+
+<li>Where the surface of the figures and the bed
+or field of relief are kept on one level (see illustration,
+p. <a href="#f107">196</a>), the contours indicated by hollow lines
+cut into the stone; very little modelling, little more
+than silhouette, in which the outline is shown by
+a hollow instead of by the stroke of a pencil or brush.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>One would be inclined to reverse the order of
+these three processes, on the supposition that No.
+3 was the earliest process, and that it arose, as I
+have conjectured, from the practice of representing
+forms by incised lines only.</p>
+
+<p>There is certainly a strong family likeness as to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_197" id="Page_197">[197]</a></span>
+method between the Egyptian reliefs and the Assyrian,
+the Persian, and the archaic Greek; and
+there is a far greater difference in treatment between
+archaic Greek relief sculpture and the work
+of the Phidian period than between the archaic
+work of the three races named.</p>
+
+<p>The strictly mural and decorative conditions
+which governed ancient sculpture no doubt gave to
+Greek sculpture in its perfection a certain dignity,
+simplicity, and restraint, and also accounted in a
+great measure for that rhythmic control of invisible
+structural and ornamental line which asserts itself
+in such works as the Pan-Athenaic frieze. It was
+strictly slab sculpture, and became part of the
+surface of the wall.</p>

+
+<p>The structural and ornamental feeling also asserts
+itself strongly in Gothic sculpture, owing to its close
+association with architecture, as, when it was not
+an integral part of the structure, it was always an
+essential part of the expression of the building,
+and it was this which controlled its treatment decoratively,
+in its scale and its system and degree of relief.</p>
+
+<p>In the porches of the Gallo-Roman churches of
+France of the twelfth century, the figures occupying
+the place of shafts became columnar in treatment,
+the sinuous formalized draperies wrapped
+around the elongated figures, or falling in vertical
+folds, as in the figures in the western door of
+Chartres Cathedral (p. <a href="#f108">199</a>). The lines of the design
+of the sculptured tympanum were strictly related
+to the space, and the degree and treatment
+of the relief clearly felt in regard to the architectural
+effect (p. <a href="#f109">201</a>).</p>

+<span class="sn">Architectural Influence</span></p>
+
+<p>In the sculptured tombs of the Middle Ages,
+with their recumbent figures and heraldic enrichments,
+again, we see this architectonic sense influencing
+the treatment of form and relief, as these
+monuments were strictly architectural decorations,
+often incorporating its forms and details, and often
+built into the structure of the church or cathedral
+itself, as in the case of the recessed and canopied
+tombs of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.</p>
+
+<p>As sculptures became detached from the building
+and wall, and appeared in full relief in the round,
+though still, as it were, carrying a reminiscence of
+their origin with them in the shape of the moulded
+pedestal, architectural control became less and less
+felt, statues in consequence being less and less
+related to their surroundings. The individual feeling
+of the sculptor or the traditions of his school
+and training alone influenced his treatment, until
+we get the incidental and dramatic or sentimental
+isolated figure or group of modern days.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Medals and Coins</span></p>
+
+<p>It is noteworthy, however, that even in the
+smaller works of the modeller, carver, or sculptor
+of the Middle Ages or the early Renaissance, a
+sense of decorative fitness and structural sense is
+always present. We see it in the carved ornaments
+of seats and furniture, in the design and treatment
+of coins and seals and gems and medals. These
+latter from the time of the ancient Greeks afford
+beautiful examples of the decorative treatment of
+relief in strict relation to the object and purpose.
+The skill and taste of the Greeks seemed to have
+been largely inherited by the artists of the earlier
+Italian Renaissance, such as Pisano, whose famous
+medal of the Malatesta of Rimini affords a splendid
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_200" id="Page_200">[200]</a></span>
+instance not only of the treatment of the portrait
+and subject on the reverse perfectly adapted to its
+method and purpose, but also of the artistic use of
+lettering as a decorative feature (see p. <a href="#f110">203</a>).</p>

+
+<p>The treatment and relief of figures and heads
+upon the plane surfaces of metals and coins, the
+composition controlled by the circular form, have
+always been a fine test of both modelling and
+decorative skill and taste. Breadth is given by a
+flatness in the treatment of successive planes of
+low relief, which rise to their highest projection
+from the ground, in the case of a head in profile,
+about its centre. The delicate perception of the
+relation of the planes of surface is important, as
+well as the decorative effect to be obtained by
+arrangement of the light and shade masses and
+the contrast of textures, such as hair and the
+folds of drapery, to the smooth contours of
+faces and figures, and the rectangular forms of
+lettering.</p>
+
+<p>In gems we see the use made of the concave
+ground, which gives an effective relief to the
+figure design in convex upon it. Bolder projection
+of prominent parts are here necessary in contrast
+to the retiring planes, the work being on so
+small a scale, and also in view of its seal-like character;
+for, of course, it is the method of producing
+form by incision, and modelling by cutting and
+hollowing out, that gives the peculiar character to
+gems and seals; and it is in forming human figures
+that the building up of the form by a series of
+ovals, spoken of in a previous chapter, becomes
+really of practical value: the method of hollowing
+the stone or metal in cutting the gem or making a
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_202" id="Page_202">[202]</a></span>
+die and the character of the tool leading naturally
+in that direction.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Desiderio di Settignano</span></p>
+
+<p>Perhaps the most delicate and beautiful kind of
+sculptured or modelled relief is to be found in the
+work of the Florentine school of the fifteenth
+century, more especially that of Donatello and
+Desiderio di Settignano, who seem indeed to have
+caught the feeling and spirit of the best Greek
+period, with fresh inspiration and suggestion from
+nature and the life around them, as well as an
+added charm of grace and sweetness.</p>
+
+<p>It is difficult to imagine that marble carving in
+low relief can be carried to greater perfection than
+it is in the well-known small relief by Desiderio
+di Settignano of the "Madonna and Child," now
+in the Italian Court of the South Kensington
+Museum. The delicate yet firmly chiselled faces
+and hands, the smooth surfaces of the flesh, and
+the folds of drapery, emerging from, or sinking
+into, the varied planes of the ground, for refinement
+of feeling and treatment seem almost akin
+to the art of the painter in the tenderness of their
+expression.</p>

+
+
+<p><span class="smcap">I have</span> already said that when we add lines
+or tints of shadow, local colour or surface, to
+an outline drawing, we are seeking to express
+form in a more complete way than can be done in
+outline alone. These added lines or tints give
+what we call relief. That is their purpose and
+function, whether by that added relief we wish to
+produce an ornamental effect or simply to approach
+nearer to the full relief of nature, for of course the
+degrees of relief are many.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Relief in Line-Drawing</span></p>
+
+<p>What may be called the natural principle of
+relief&mdash;that system of light and shade by which a
+figure or any solid object is perceived as such by
+the eye&mdash;consists in each part of the form being
+thrown into more or less contrast by appearing as
+dark on light upon its background, more especially
+at its edges. A figure wholly dark, say in black
+drapery, appearing against a light ground, might
+be supposed to be flat if no cast shadow was
+seen; the same with the reverse&mdash;a light figure
+upon a dark ground&mdash;except that in this latter
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_205" id="Page_205">[205]</a></span>
+case, unless the light was very level and flat, a
+certain concentration of light upon the highest
+parts, or indicating a modulation of shadow in
+interstices, might betray its solidity (see p. <a href="#f111a">206</a>).</p>

+		title="The Two Principles of Contrast in Black and White."
+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>But if we place a figure so that the light falls
+from one side, we perceive that it at once stands
+out in bold relief in broad planes of light and
+shade, further emphasized by cast shadows (p. <a href="#f111b">207</a>).</p>

+
+<p>It would be possible to represent or to express
+a figure or object so lighted by means of laying in
+the modulations and planes of shadow only, or by
+means of adding the light only on a toned ground.
+In sketching in black and white, it is a good plan
+to accustom oneself to complete as one goes along,
+as far as may be, putting in outline and shadow
+together; but this needs a power of direct drawing
+and a correctness of eye only to be gained by
+continual practice. A slight preliminary basis of
+light lines to indicate the position and proportions,
+and yet not strong enough to need rubbing out,
+is also a good method for those who do not feel
+certain enough for the absolutely direct method of
+drawing.</p>

+
+<p>Now in drawing, as I think I have pointed out
+before, no less than in all art, there are two main
+governing principles of working which may be
+distinguished.</p>
+
+<ol style="list-style-type:upper-roman">
+<li>The graphic aim.</li>
+<li>The ornamental or decorative aim.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>
+&nbsp;<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_206" id="Page_206">[206]</a></span>

+
+<p><span class="sn">The Graphic Aim</span></p>
+
+<p>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_208" id="Page_208">[208]</a></span>
+The graphic aim&mdash;the endeavour to represent a
+form exactly as it appears&mdash;a power always valuable
+to acquire whatever may be our ultimate
+purpose, leaves the draughtsman great freedom
+in the choice and use of line, or other means of
+obtaining relief, local tint, and tone.</p>
+
+<p>In line-work the broad relief of the flat tones of
+shadow may be expressed in lines approaching
+the straight, diagonally sloping from right to left,
+or from left to right, as seems most natural to the
+action of the hand.</p>
+
+<p>The quality of our lines will depend upon the
+quality we are seeking to express. We shall be
+led to vary them in seeking to express other
+characteristics, such as textures and surfaces.</p>
+
+<p>In drawing fur or feathers, for instance, we
+should naturally vary the quality and direction of
+line, using broken lines and dots for the former,
+and flowing smooth fine lines for the latter, while
+extra force and relief would be gained by throwing
+them up upon solid black grounds. Solid black,
+also, to represent local colour, or material such as
+velvet, is often valuable as a contrast in black and
+white line-drawing, giving a richness of effect not to
+be obtained in any other way (see No. 2, p. <a href="#f114">213</a>).
+Its value was appreciated by the early German
+and Italian book-illustrators, and in our own time
+has been used almost to excess by some of our
+younger designers, who have been largely influenced
+by Hokusai and other Japanese artists,
+who are always skilful in the use of solid blacks.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>In line-drawing a very useful principle to observe,
+to give solidity to figures and objects, is to
+let one's lines&mdash;say of drapery or shadow&mdash;run
+into solid blacks in the deepest interstices of the
+forms, as when folds of drapery are wrapped
+about a figure, or in the deeper folds themselves
+(No. 1, p. <a href="#f114">213</a>).</p>

+<span class="sn">The Ornamental Aim</span></p>
+
+<p>I have spoken of the graphic and the ornamental
+aims as distinct, and so they may for
+practical purposes be regarded; although in some
+cases it is possible to combine a considerable
+amount of graphic force with decorative effect,
+and even in purely graphic art there should
+always be the controlling influence of the sense
+of composition which must be felt throughout all
+forms of art.</p>
+
+<p>For the simplest ornamental function, however,
+very little graphic drawing is needed, over and
+above the very essential power of definition by
+pure outline, and feeling for silhouette; but a
+sense for the relief of masses upon a ground or
+field, and of the proportions and relations of lines
+and masses or distribution of quantities, is essential.
+Now an ornamental effect may be produced by
+the simple repetition of some form defined in
+outline arranged so as to fall into a rhythmic
+series of lines.</p>
+
+<p>A series of birds upon a plan of this kind, for
+instance, would form a frieze on simple bordering
+in abstract line alone, and might be quite sufficient
+for some purposes. The same thing would be
+capable of more elaborate treatment and different
+effect by relieving the birds upon a darker ground,
+by defining the details of their forms more, or by
+alternating them in black or white, or by adopting
+the simple principle of counterchange (see p. <a href="#f115">215</a>).</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>&nbsp;
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_211" id="Page_211">[211]</a></span>
+</p>
+
+<p>Flowers or figures would be capable of the
+same simple and abstract treatment; and almost
+any form in nature, reduced to its simplest elements
+of recurring line and mass, and rhythmically
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_212" id="Page_212">[212]</a></span>
+disposed, would give us distinct decorative
+motives.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Ornamental Aim</span></p>
+
+<p>It is quite open to the designer to select his
+lines and forms straight from nature, and, bearing
+in mind the necessity for selection of the best
+ornamental elements, for a certain simplification,
+and the rhythmical treatment before mentioned, it
+is good to do so, as the work is more likely to
+have a certain freshness than if some of the well-known
+historic forms of ornament are used again.
+We may, however, learn much from the ornamental
+use of these forms, and use similar forms
+as the boundaries of the shape of our pattern units
+and masses.</p>
+
+<p>It is good practice to take a typical shape such
+as the Persian radiating flower or pine-apple, and
+use it as the plan for quite a different structure in
+detail, taking some familiar English flower as our
+motive. The same with the Indian and Persian
+palmette type. It is also desirable, as before
+pointed out, to draw sprays within formal boundaries
+for ornamental use. By such methods we
+may not only learn to appreciate the ornamental
+value of such forms, but by such adaptation and
+re-combination produce new varieties of ornament
+(see p. <a href="#f116">217</a>).</p>
+

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>We may perceive how distinct are the two aims
+as between simple graphic drawing, or delineation,
+and what we call design, or conscious arrangements
+of line or form. While planes of relief,
+varied form and surface, values of light and shade,
+and accidental characteristics are rather the object
+with the graphic draughtsman, typical form
+and structure, and recurring line and mass, are
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_213" id="Page_213">[213]</a></span>
+sought for by the ornamentist. Both series of
+facts, or qualities, or characteristics, are in nature.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Selection</span></p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_214" id="Page_214">[214]</a></span>
+Judicious selection, however, is the test of
+artistic treatment; selection, that is, with a view
+to the aim and scope of the work. The truth of
+superficial appearance or accidental aspect is <i>one</i>
+sort of truth: the truth of the actual constructive
+characteristics&mdash;be they of figure, flower, or landscape&mdash;is
+<i>another</i>. Both belong to the thing we
+see&mdash;to the object we are drawing; but we shall
+dwell upon one truth or set of truths rather than
+the other, in accordance with our particular artistic
+aim, though, whatever this may be, and in whatever
+direction it may lead us, we shall find that
+selection of some sort will be necessary.</p>
+
+<p>In making studies, however pure and simple,
+the object of which is to discover facts and to learn
+mastery of form, our aim should be to get as much
+truth as we can, truth of structure as well as of
+aspect. But these (as far as we can make them)
+exhaustive studies should be accompanied or
+followed by analytical studies made from different
+points of view and for different purposes.</p>
+
+<p>Studies, for instance, made with a view to arrangements
+of <i>line</i> only&mdash;to get the characteristic
+and beautiful lines of a figure, a momentary attitude,
+the lines of a flower, or a landscape: studies
+with a view, solely, to the understanding of structure
+and form, or again, with the object of seizing
+the broad relations of light and shade, or tone and
+colour&mdash;all are necessary to a complete artistic
+education of the eye.</p>
+
+<p>&nbsp;<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_215" id="Page_215">[215]</a></span>
+</p>
+<p><span class="sn">Accidents and Essentials</span></p>
+
+<p>If we are drawn as students rather towards the
+picturesque and graphic side of art, we shall probably
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_216" id="Page_216">[216]</a></span>
+look for accidents of line and form more than
+what I should call the essentials, or <i>typical</i> line
+and form, which are the most valuable to the
+decorative designer.</p>
+
+<p>In both directions some compact or compromise
+with nature is necessary in any really artistic
+re-presentation.</p>
+
+<p>The painter and the sculptor often seek as
+<i>complete representation</i> as possible, and what may
+be called complete representation is within the
+range of their resources. Yet unless some individual
+choice or feeling impresses the work of
+either kind it is not a <i>re-presentation</i>, but becomes
+an <i>imitation</i>, and therefore inartistic.</p>
+
+<p>The decorative designer and ornamentist seek
+to <i>suggest</i> rather than to <i>re-present</i>, though the
+decorator's suggestion of natural form, taking
+only enough to suit or express the particular ornamental
+purpose, must be considered also as a
+re-presentation. How much, or how little, he will
+take of actual nature must depend largely upon
+his resources, his object, and the limitations of his
+material&mdash;the conditions of his work in short; but
+his range may be as wide as from the flat silhouetted
+forms of stencils or simple inlays to the
+highly-wrought mural painting.</p>
+
+<p>Design motive, individual conception and sentiment,
+apart from material, must, of course, always
+affect the question of the choice and degree of
+representation of nature. The painter will sometimes
+feel that he only wants to suggest forms,
+such as figures or buildings, half veiled in light
+and atmosphere, colours and forms in twilight, or
+half lost in luminous depths of shadow.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">The Outward Vision and Inner Vision</span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_220" id="Page_220">[220]</a></span>
+</p>
+
+<p>The decorative designer will sometimes want to
+emphasize forms with the utmost force and realism
+at his command, as in some crisp bit of carving or
+emphatic pattern, to give point and relief in his
+scheme of quantities.</p>
+
+<p>There is no hard-and-fast rule in art, only
+general principles, constantly varied in practice,
+from which all principles spring, and into which,
+if vital, they ought to be capable of being again
+resolved.</p>
+
+<p>But a design once started upon some principle&mdash;some
+particular motive of line or form&mdash;then,
+in following this out, it will seem to develop almost
+a life or law of growth of its own, which as a
+matter of logical necessity will demand a particular
+treatment&mdash;a certain natural consistency or harmony&mdash;from
+its main features down to the smallest
+detail as a necessity of its existence.</p>
+
+<p>We might further differentiate art as, on the one
+hand, the image of the <i>outward vision</i>, and, on the
+other, as the outcome or image of the <i>inner vision</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The first kind would include all portraiture, by
+which I mean faithful portrayal or transcript
+whether of animate or inanimate nature; while
+the second would include all imaginative conceptions,
+decorative designs, and pattern inventions.</p>
+
+<p>The outward vision obviously relies upon what
+the eye perceives in nature. Its virtue consists
+in the faithfulness and truth of its graphic record,
+in the penetrating force of observation of fact,
+and the representative power by which they are
+reproduced on paper or canvas, clay or marble.</p>

+<p>&nbsp;
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_221" id="Page_221">[221]</a></span>
+</p>
+<p>The image of the inner vision is also a record,
+but of a different order of fact. It may be often
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_222" id="Page_222">[222]</a></span>
+of unconscious impressions and memories which
+are retained and recur with all or more than the
+vividness of actuality&mdash;the tangible forms of external
+nature calling up answering, but not identical,
+images in the mind, like reflections in a mirror or
+in still water, which are similar but never the
+same as the objects they reflect.</p>
+
+<p>But the inner vision is not bound by the appearances
+of the particular moment. It is the record
+of the sum of many moments, and retains the
+typical impress of multitudinous and successive
+impressions&mdash;like the composite photograph, where
+faces may be printed one over another until the
+result is a more typical image than any individual
+one taken separately.</p>
+
+<p>The inner vision sees the results of time rather
+than the impressions of the moment. It sees
+<i>space</i> rather than landscape: race rather than
+men: spirits rather than mortals: types rather
+than individuals.</p>
+
+<p>The inner vision hangs the mind's house with
+a mysterious tapestry of figurative thoughts, a rich
+and fantastic imagery, a world where the elements
+are personified, where every tree has its dryad,
+and where the wings of the winds actually brush
+the cheek.</p>
+
+<p>The inner vision re-creates rather than represents,
+and its virtue consists in the vividness and
+beauty with which, in the language of line, form,
+and colour, these visions of the mind are recorded
+and presented to the outward eye.</p>
+
+<p>There is often fusion here again between two
+different tendencies, habits of mind, or ways of
+regarding things. In all art the mind must work
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_223" id="Page_223">[223]</a></span>through the eye, whether its force appears in
+closeness of observation or in vivid imaginings.
+The very vividness of realization even of the most
+faithful portraiture is a testimony to mental powers.</p>
+
+<p>The difference lies really in the <i>focus</i> of the
+mental force; and, in any case, the language of
+line and form we use will neither be forcible or
+convincing, neither faithful to natural fact nor true
+to the imagination, without close and constant
+study of external form and of its structure as well
+as its aspect.</p>

+
+<p>The most important branch of decorative art
+may be said to be mural decoration, allied as it is
+with the fundamental constructive art of all&mdash;architecture,
+from which it obtains its determining
+conditions and natural limitations.</p>
+
+<p>Its history in the past is one of splendour and
+dignity, and its record includes some of the finest
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_225" id="Page_225">[225]</a></span>art ever produced. The ancient Asiatic nations
+were well aware of its value not only as decoration
+but as a record.</p>

+
+<p>The palace and temple and tomb-walls of ancient
+Egypt, Persia, and Assyria vividly illustrate the
+life and ideas of those peoples, while they conform
+to mural conditions. The painted council halls
+and churches of the Middle Ages fulfil the same
+purpose in a different spirit; but mural decoration
+in its richest, most imaginative and complete form
+was developed in Italy, from the time of Giotto,
+whose famous works at the Arena Chapel at Padua
+and Assisi are well known, to the time of Michael
+Angelo, who in the sublime ceiling of the Sistine
+Chapel seemed to touch the extreme limits of
+mural work, and in fact might be said to have
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_226" id="Page_226">[226]</a></span>almost <i>defied</i> them, painting mouldings in relief
+and in perspective to form the framework of pictures
+where figures on different scales are used.
+In the Sistine Chapel the series of earlier frescoes
+on the lower wall by Botticelli, Lorenzo di Credi,
+Ghirlandajo, Pinturicchio, and other Florentine
+painters of the fifteenth century are really more
+strictly mural in feeling, and safer as guides in
+general treatment, than the work of the great
+master himself. They have much of the repose
+and richness as well as the quiet decorative effect
+of tapestry.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Fresco-Work of Italian Painters</span></p>
+
+<p>The frescoes in the Palazzo Publico at Siena,
+Pinturicchio's work in the Piccolomini Chapel and
+the Appartimenti Borgia, the Campo Santo at
+Pisa and the Riccardi Chapel of Benozzo Gozzoli
+at Florence, may be mentioned as among the gems
+of mural painting.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Modern Mural Work</span></p>
+
+<p>We have but little important mural painting in
+this country. Doubtless, from various traces discovered
+under Puritan whitewash, the walls of our
+medi&aelig;val churches were painted as frequently as
+in continental countries, but so completely did
+artistic tradition and religious sentiment change
+after the Reformation that the opportunities have
+been few and the encouragement less for mural
+painting. An attempt to revive fresco-painting
+was made in our Houses of Parliament, and
+various scenes from our national history have been
+rendered with varying degrees of merit; but they
+have chiefly demonstrated the need of continuous
+practice in such work on the part of our painters
+and the absence of a true decorative instinct.</p>

+<p>It is to the honour of Manchester that her
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_227" id="Page_227">[227]</a></span>Town Hall contains one of the most important
+and interesting pieces of mural painting by one
+of the most original of modern English artists&mdash;Ford
+Madox Brown&mdash;a work conceived in the true
+spirit of mural work, being a record of local
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_228" id="Page_228">[228]</a></span>history, as well as a decoration, while distinctly modern
+in sentiment and showing strong dramatic feeling,
+as well as historical knowledge.</p>
+
+<p>The chapel on which Mr. F. J. Shields is engaged
+in London will probably be unique in its
+way as a complete piece of mural decoration by an
+English artist of singular individuality, sincerity,
+and power, as well as decorative ability.</p>
+
+<p>But unfortunately opportunities for important
+mural decoration of this kind are very rare in
+England. The art is not popularized: we have
+no school of trained mural designers, and we
+have no public really interested. Our commercial
+system and system of house tenure are against it.
+Our only chance is in public buildings, which indeed
+have always been its best field. Yet we
+neglect, I think, a most important educational influence.
+The painted churches and public halls
+of the Middle Ages filled in a great measure the
+place of public libraries. A painted history, a
+portrait, a dramatic or romantic incident told in
+the vivid language of line, form, and colour, is
+stamped upon the memory never to be forgotten.
+It would be possible, I think, to impart a tolerably
+exact knowledge of the sequence of history, of the
+conditions of life at different epochs, of great men
+and their work, from a well-imagined series of
+mural paintings, without the aid of books; and in
+this direction, perhaps, our school walls would
+present an appropriate field.</p>
+
+<p>Modern opportunities of mural decoration are
+chiefly domestic. The country mansion, or the
+modest home of the suburban citizen, affords the
+principal field in our time for the exercise of the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_229" id="Page_229">[229]</a></span>taste or ingenuity of the wall-decorator. In this
+comparatively restricted field, taste is perhaps of
+more consequence than any other quality. A
+sense of appropriateness, a harmonizing faculty, a
+power of arrangement of simple materials&mdash;these
+are invaluable, for, more than any others, they go
+to the making of a livable interior.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Mural Spacing and Pattern Plans</span></p>
+
+<p>On first thought it would almost seem as if
+the designer was less technically restricted in this
+direction of mural work than any other; yet he
+will soon feel that he cannot produce an artistic
+and thoughtful scheme without taking many things
+into consideration which really belong to the conditions
+or natural limitations of his work.</p>
+
+<p>There is, firstly, the idea of the wall itself&mdash;part
+of the house-structure&mdash;a shelter and protection
+or boundary. It is no part of a designer's business
+to put anything upon the wall in the way of decoration
+which will induce anyone to forget that it is
+a wall&mdash;nothing to disturb the flatness and repose.</p>
+
+<p>The four walls of a room inclose a space to
+dwell in, in comfort and security. The windows
+show us outward real life and nature. The walls
+should not compete with the windows. Nature
+must be translated into the terms of line and form
+and colour, and invention and fancy may be pleasantly
+suggestive in the harmonious metre and
+rhythm of pattern.</p>
+
+<p>A wall surface extends horizontally and vertically,
+but the vertical extension seems to assert
+itself most to the eye.</p>
+
+<p>Any arrangement of lines of the trellis or diaper
+order logically covers a wall surface, and may be
+appropriately used as a basis for a wall pattern,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_230" id="Page_230">[230]</a></span>whether merely to mark the positions of a simple
+spray or formal sprig pattern, or as a ground-plan
+for a completely filled field of repeating ornament,
+whether painted, stencilled, or in the form of wall-paper
+or textile hanging.</p>
+
+<p>In the simple geometric net of squares or
+diamonds or circles, however, there is nothing
+that emphatically marks adaptability to a vertical
+position. Such plans in themselves are equally
+appropriate to the floor in the form of paving and
+parquet. The ogee plan, however, and its variant,
+the vertical serpentine or spiral plan, at once
+suggest vertical extension, the former perhaps
+by its leaf-like points arranging themselves scale-wise,
+and the latter by its suggestion of ascending
+movement.</p>
+
+<p>It is noteworthy that in the course of the historic
+evolution of mural decoration, designs based upon
+these systems constantly recur. They are part
+of the pattern-designer's vocabulary of line, and
+among the principal, though simplest, terms by
+which he is able to express vertical extension.</p>
+
+<p>The question of <i>scale</i> in designing mural decoration
+of any sort is very important. This demands
+a certain power of realizing the effect of certain
+lines and masses if carried out, and the relation of
+one part to another as well as to the dimensions
+of the walls and the room itself. Here, as indeed
+throughout art, a reference to the human figure
+will give us our key, since after all decoration goes
+to form a background for humanity. With natural
+flowers and leaves it is always right to design for
+mural purposes on the same scale as nature.</p>

+

+
+<p>By the judicious use of line and scale in design,
+the designer holds a certain power of transformation
+in his hands, not to speak of the transforming
+effect of colour of different keys and tones, the
+apparent contraction or expansion of surfaces by
+patterns of different character and scale.</p>
+
+<p>It would obviously not do to regard any wall
+merely as so much expanse of surface available for
+sketching unrelated groups and figures upon, as
+they might be jotted down in a sketch-book, and
+to offer it as decoration. In an interior thus
+treated, we should lose all sense of repose, dignity,
+and proportion.</p>
+
+<p>Use and custom, which fix and determine so
+many things in social life without written laws,
+have also prescribed certain divisions of the wall,
+which, in regard to the exigencies of life and habit
+and modern conditions generally, seem natural
+enough.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">The Skirting</span></p>
+
+<p>The lower parts of the walls of most modern
+dwellings being generally occupied by furniture
+placed against them, and liable to be soiled or injured,
+it would be out of place to put important
+and elaborate ornament or figure designs extending
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_234" id="Page_234">[234]</a></span>
+to the skirting. The wooden skirting, of
+about nine inches or a foot in depth, which is
+placed along the foot of the wall in our modern
+rooms, is the armour-plating to protect the plaster,
+which otherwise might be chipped and litter the
+floor. It is perhaps the last relic of the more
+substantial and extensive wood panelling and
+wainscotting which, up to the latter part of the
+last century, covered the lower walls of the more
+comfortable houses, and has been revived in our
+own day. The decorator may use panelling, or
+wainscotting, or a simple chair-rail above plain
+painting, wall-paper, dado, or stencilling, or a
+dado of matting, as methods of covering, and at
+the same time decorating, the lower walls of
+rooms.</p>
+
+<p>The use of the dado of a darker colour and of
+wainscot is, no doubt, due to considerations of
+wear and tear, and so, like the origin of much
+ornamental art, may be traced to actual use and
+constructive necessity. When the wood-work of
+a room&mdash;the doors and window frames&mdash;is of the
+same colour and character as the dado, a certain
+agreeable unity is preserved, and it forms a useful
+plain framing to set off the patterned parts of the
+wall. This wainscot or dado framing with the
+wood-work should be as to colour arranged to
+suit the general scheme adopted. Where paint
+is used, white for the wood-work usually has the
+best effect.</p>

+<p>&nbsp;<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_235" id="Page_235">[235]</a></span>
+</p>
+<p><span class="sn">Field of the Wall</span></p>
+
+<p>The largest space of wall occurs above the
+chair-rail, or dado, and, according to modern
+habits and usage, portable property in the shape
+of framed pictures, etc., is usually placed here
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_236" id="Page_236">[236]</a></span>
+along the eye-line, so that any decoration on this&mdash;the
+main field of the wall&mdash;is regarded as subsidiary
+to what is placed upon it; but, of course,
+pictures can be used as the central points of a
+decorative scheme. On the upper part of a wall,
+below the plaster cornice, the mural designer has
+the chance of putting a frieze, and a frieze usually
+gives the effect of additional height to a room,
+besides enriching the wall.</p>

+
+<p>An effective treatment of a large room, and one
+which is more reposeful than cutting up the wall
+into these portions, as in dado, field, and frieze, is
+to carry up wood panelling to the frieze, and let
+this (the frieze) be the important decorative feature.</p>
+
+<p>Supposing the room was twelve feet high, one
+could afford to have eight feet of panelling, and
+then a frieze of four feet deep. In this case one
+would look for an interesting painted frieze of
+figures&mdash;some legend or story to run along the
+four sides of the room, and in such a case it might
+be marked with considerable pictorial freedom.</p>
+
+<p>More formal figure design or ornamental work
+in coloured plaster-work, stucco, and gesso could
+also be appropriately used in such a position, as
+also on the ceiling.</p>
+
+<p>Now as regards choice of line and form in their
+relation to the decoration of such mural spaces.
+Taking the lower wall, dado, or panelling, one
+reason why panelling has so agreeable an effect is,
+I think, that the series of vertical and horizontal
+lines seem to express the proportions, while they
+emphasize the flatness and repose of the wall, and
+when used beneath a painted frieze they lead the
+eye upwards, forming a quiet framing of rectangular
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_237" id="Page_237">[237]</a></span>
+lines below to the ornate and varied design
+of the frieze. Where we are limited to decorating
+a wall by means of plain painting, stencils, or wall-paper,
+this idea of reposeful constructive lines and
+forms on the lower wall should still dominate upon
+the field. Subject to our repeating plan we may
+be freer both in line and form, using free scrolls,
+branch-work, fruit, and flower masses at pleasure,
+because the space is more extended, and we shall
+feel the necessity in a repeating pattern of spreading
+adequately over it; but such designs, however
+fine in detail, should be constructed upon a more
+or less geometric base or plan. We are, as regards
+the main field of the wall, still unavoidably, though
+not disadvantageously, influenced by the tradition
+of the textile hanging or arras tapestry, no doubt;
+and certainly there is no more rich and comfortable
+lining for living rooms than tapestry, or, at the
+same time, more reposeful and decoratively satisfying.
+But, of course, where we can afford arras
+tapestry (such as the superb work of William
+Morris and his weavers), we ought not to allow
+anything to compete with it upon the same wall.
+It is sufficient in itself.</p>

+
+<p>So long as the feeling for the repose and flatness
+of the wall surface is preserved, there are no special
+limitations in the choice of form. It becomes far
+more a matter of <i>treatment of form and subject</i> in
+perfectly appropriate mural design. There is one
+principle, however, which seems to hold good in
+the treatment of important figure subjects to occupy
+the main wall surfaces as panels: while pictorial
+realization of a kind may be carried quite far, it is
+desirable to avoid large masses of light sky, or to
+attempt much in the way of atmospheric effect. It
+is well to keep the horizon high, and, if sky is
+shown, to break it with architecture and trees.</p>
+
+<p>Still more important is it to observe this in
+tapestry. It is very noticeable how tapestry design
+declined after the fifteenth century or early
+years of the sixteenth, when perspective and pictorial
+planes were introduced, and sky effects to
+emulate painting, and thus the peculiarly mural
+feeling was lost, with its peculiar beauty, richness,
+and repose.</p>

+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_240" id="Page_240">[240]</a></span>In the translation into tapestry even of so
+tapestry-like a picture as that of Botticelli's "Primavera,"
+it is noteworthy how Mr. Morris has felt
+the necessity of reducing the different planes, and
+the chiaroscuro of the painting, by more leafy and
+floral detail; making it, in short, more of a pattern
+than a picture.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Frieze</span></p>
+
+<p>A frieze is susceptible of a much more open,
+lighter, and freer treatment than a field. A frieze
+is one of the mural decorator's principal means of
+giving lightness and relief to his wall. In purely
+floral and ornamental design the field of close
+pattern, formal diaper, or sprigs at regular intervals
+may be appropriately relieved by bolder lines
+and masses, and a more open treatment in the
+frieze. The frieze, too, affords a means of contrast
+in line to the line system of the field of the wall,
+its horizontal expression usefully opposing the
+verticals or diagonals of the wall pattern below.
+The frieze may be regarded as a horizontal border,
+and in border designs the principle of transposition
+of the relation of pattern to ground is a useful one
+to bear in mind, as leading always to an effective
+result. I mean, supposing our field shows a pattern
+mainly of light upon dark, the frieze might be on
+the reverse plan, a dark pattern on a light ground.</p>
+
+<p>And whereas, as I have said, one would exclude
+wide light spaces from our mural field, in the frieze
+one might effectively show a light sky ground
+throughout, and arrange a figure or floral design
+upon that.</p>
+
+<p>The principle governing the treatment of main
+and lower wall spaces or fields, which teaches the
+designer to preserve the repose of the surface, may
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_241" id="Page_241">[241]</a></span>be said to rule also in all textile design, and textile
+design has, as we have seen in the form of tapestry,
+and hangings of all kinds, a very close association
+with mural decoration.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Textile Design</span></p>
+
+<p>Any textile may be considered, from the designer's
+point of view, as presenting so much <i>surface</i>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_242" id="Page_242">[242]</a></span>for pattern, whether that surface is hung upon
+a wall, or curtains a door or a window, or is spread
+in the form of carpets or rugs upon floors, or over
+the cushions of furniture, or adapts itself to the
+variety of curve surface and movement of the
+human form in dress materials and costume. Textile
+beauty is beauty of material and surface, and
+unless the pattern or design upon it or woven with
+it enhances that beauty of material and surface,
+and becomes a part of the expression of that
+material and surface, it is better without pattern.</p>

+
+<p>To place informal shaded flowers and leaves
+upon a carpet, for instance, where the warp is
+very emphatic, and the process of weaving necessitates
+a stepped or rectangularly broken outline,
+is to mistake appropriate decorative effect, capacity
+of material, and position in regard to the eye. We
+cannot get away, in a carpet, from the idea of a flat
+field starred with more or less formal flowers, and
+colour arrangements which owe their richness and
+beauty, not to the relief of shading, but to the
+heraldic principle of relieving one tint or colour
+upon another. The rich inlay of colour which a
+Persian or any Eastern carpet presents is owing
+to its being designed upon this principle; and in
+Persian work that peculiarly rich effect of colour,
+apart from fine material, is owing to the principle
+of the use of outlines of different colours defining
+and relieving the different forms in the pattern
+upon different grounds. The rectangular influence
+arising from the technical conditions of the work
+gives a definite textile character to the design
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_243" id="Page_243">[243]</a></span>
+which is very agreeable; besides, as a question of
+line and form, in a carpet or rug which is rectangular
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_244" id="Page_244">[244]</a></span>
+in shape and laid usually upon rectangular
+floors, the squareness of form harmonizes with the
+conditions and surroundings of the work in use.
+The Persian designer, indeed, appears to be so
+impressed with this feeling, that he uses a succession
+of borders around the central field of his carpet
+or rug, still further emphasizing the rectangularity;
+while he avoids the too rigid effect of a
+series of straight lines which the crossing of the
+threads of the weft at right angles to the warp
+might cause, by changing the widths of his subsidiary
+borders and breaking them with a constant
+variety of small patterns, and inserting narrow
+white lines between the black lines of the border.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Effect of Texture on Colour</span></p>
+
+<p>In tapestry the effect of the emphatic warp
+worked vertically in the loom, but hung horizontally,
+has a very important influence upon the
+effect. If we took a piece of paper coloured with
+a flat even tint, and folded it in ridges, the quality
+of the tint would be at once changed, and so in
+tapestry the passing of the wool of the wefts,
+which form the pattern or picture, over the strong
+lines of the warp&mdash;which are broad enough to
+take the outlines of the cartoon upon them&mdash;produces
+that soft and varied play of colour&mdash;really
+colour in light and shade&mdash;which, over and above
+the actual dyes and artistic selection of tints, gives
+the peculiar charm and effect in tapestry.</p>
+
+<p>This sheen and variety are more or less evident
+in all textiles, and a good textile pattern only
+adds to the variety and richness of the surface.
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_245" id="Page_245">[245]</a></span>
+The different thicknesses or planes of surface
+and the difference of their texture caused by the
+different wefts being brought to the surface of the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_246" id="Page_246">[246]</a></span>
+cloth or silk (from the simplest contrast of line
+presented by the simplest arrangements of warp
+and weft, to the complexities of many-coloured
+silk stuffs and brocade) alone give a value to the
+surface pattern.</p>
+
+<p>In cut velvet the same principle of contrast of
+surface is emphasized still further, the rich deep
+nap of the less raised parts contrasting pleasantly
+with the mat effect of the ground.</p>
+
+<p>In designs for such material one should aim at
+boldly blocked-out patterns in silhouette&mdash;bold
+leaf and fruit forms say&mdash;designed on the principle
+of the stencil.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Prints</span></p>
+
+<p>With prints the range is of course freer, the
+material itself suggesting something lighter and
+more temporary. It seems highly probable that
+printed cotton was originally a substitute for embroidered
+linen or more sumptuous materials.
+There are certainly instances of very similar
+patterns in Indian and Persian work in silk embroidery,
+and also in printed cotton. In some
+cases the print is partly embroidered, which seems
+to mark a transitional stage, and recalls the
+lingering use of illumination in the early days
+of the printing press, in another department of
+art.</p>
+
+<p>Anything that will repeat as a pattern in what
+can be produced by line, dot, and tints of colour,
+and engraved upon wood-blocks or copper rollers,
+can be printed of course; and, as is generally the
+case with an art which has no very obvious technical
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_247" id="Page_247">[247]</a></span>
+limitations, it is liable to be caught by the
+imitative spirit, and cheap and rapid production
+and demand for novelties (so-called) generally end
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_248" id="Page_248">[248]</a></span>
+in loss of taste and deterioration of quality, especially
+in design. From the artistic point of view
+we can only correct this by bearing in mind
+similar considerations to those which hold good
+as general principles and guides in designing for
+textiles generally, having regard to the object,
+purpose, and position&mdash;to the ultimate use of the
+material, and differentiating our designs, as in the
+case of other textile design accordingly.</p>
+
+<p>Thus in the matter of plan and direction of line
+and character of form we shall at once find
+natural distinctions and divisions, as our design
+is for hanging, or spreading horizontally, or wearing;
+and these different functions will also determine
+scale and choice and treatment of form and
+colour.</p>
+
+<p>There is no doubt that with patterns printed
+more range may be allowed than with patterns to
+be woven, where line and form are both controlled
+by the necessities of being reproduced by so many
+points to the inch. At the same time the object
+of all design and pattern work being the greatest
+beauty compatible with the material and conditions,
+one should seek, not such effects as merely
+test the capacity or ingenuity of the machine, but
+rather such as appear to be most decoratively
+appropriate and effective.</p>
+
+<p>There appears to be no <i>mechanical</i> reason why
+cotton should not be printed all over with landscapes
+and graphic sketches, and people clothe
+themselves with them as with Christmas numbers,
+or turn their couches, chairs, and curtains into
+scrap albums, but there is every reason <i>on the
+score of taste</i> why these things should not be done.</p>

+designers dealing with surface. It is surface
+ornament that is wanted also in printed cotton.
+Now good line and form and pure tints have the
+best effect, because they do not break the surface
+into holes, and give a ragged or tumbled appearance,
+which accidental bunches of darkly-shaded
+flowers in high relief undoubtedly do. If small
+rich detail and variety are wanted, we should seek
+it in the inventive spirit of the Persian and Indian,
+and break our solid colours with mordants or
+arabesques in colour of delicate subsidiary pattern
+instead of using coarse planes of light and shadow,
+or showing up ragged and unrelated forms upon
+violent grounds.</p>

+
+<p>The true idea of a print pattern is of something
+gay and fanciful: bright and fresh in colour, and
+clear in line and form: a certain quaintness is
+allowable, and in purely floral designs there is
+room for a considerable degree of what might be
+called naturalism, so far as good line-drawing and
+understanding of flower form goes, emphasis of
+colour being sought by means of <i>planes of colour</i>,
+rather than by planes of shadow.</p>
+
+<p>I had intended to touch upon other provinces
+of design, but I have taken up so much space
+with those I have been discussing already that I
+can only now briefly allude to these.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Wall-Paper</span></p>
+
+<p>Of wall-paper, which may be regarded in the
+light of more or less of a substitute for mural
+painting, and also textile wall-hangings, much the
+same general principles and many of the same
+remarks apply as have been already used in
+regard to mural decoration. The designer has
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_252" id="Page_252">[252]</a></span>
+much freedom as to motive, and his ingenuity is
+only bounded by or concentrated in a square of
+twenty-one inches. If he has succeeded in making
+an agreeable pattern which will repeat not too
+obviously over an indefinite space, to form a not
+obtrusive background, and which can be printed
+and sold to the ordinary citizen, he is supposed to
+have satisfied the conditions.</p>
+
+<p>But he may be induced to go further and
+attempt the design of a complete decoration as
+far as dado, field, frieze, and ceiling go; and this
+would involve all the thought necessary to the
+mural painter, narrowed down to the exigencies of
+mechanical repeat.</p>
+
+<p>Allied to the wall is the window, and in glazing
+and the art of the glass-painter we have another
+very distinct and beautiful sphere of line design.
+In plain leading the same law of covering vertical
+surface holds good as to selection of plan and
+system of line: almost any simple geometric net
+is appropriate, if not too complex or small in form
+to hold glass or to permit lead to follow its lines.
+Leaded panels of roundels (or "bull's eyes") of
+plain glass have a good effect in casements where
+a sparkle of light rather than outward view is
+sought for.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Stained Glass</span></p>
+
+<p>When we come to designing for stained glass
+we should still bear in mind the fundamental net
+of lead lines which forms the basis of our pattern,
+or glass picture, as it were: and the designer's
+object should be to make it good as an arrangement
+of line independently of the colour, while
+practical to the glazier.</p>

+</p>
+<p>Although lead is very pliable, too much must
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_254" id="Page_254">[254]</a></span>
+not be expected of it in the way of small depressions
+and angles: the boundary lines of the figures,
+which should be the boldest of all, should be kept
+as simple as possible, not only on this account,
+but because complex outlines cannot well be cut
+in glass. A head, for instance, is inclosed in
+sweeping line, and the profile defined within the
+lead line by means of painting. A hand would be
+defined on the same principle. Each different
+colour demands a different inclosure of lead,
+although in the choice of glass much variation of
+tint can be obtained, as in the case of pot metal
+running from thin to thick glass, which intensifies
+the colour, and many kinds of what is called
+flashed. Yet to the designer, from the point of
+view of line, glass design is a kind of translucent
+mosaic, in which the primal technical necessity of
+the leading which holds the glory of the coloured
+light together, really enhances its splendour, and
+in affording opportunities for decoration and expressive
+linear composition imparts to the whole
+work its particular character and beauty.</p>
+
+<p>This after all is the principle to cling to in all
+designing, to adapt our designs to the particular
+distinctive character and beauty of the material
+for which they are destined, to endeavour to think
+them out in those materials, and not only on
+paper. Whatever the work may be&mdash;carving,
+inlays, modelling, mosaic, textiles&mdash;through the
+whole range of surface decoration, we should
+think out our designs, not only in relation to the
+limitations of their material, but also in their relation
+to each other, to their effect in actual use,
+and even to their possible use in association
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_255" id="Page_255">[255]</a></span>together, which, of course, is of paramount importance
+in designing a complete room or any comprehensive
+piece of decoration.</p>
+
+<p>And when we leave plane surfaces and seek to
+invent appropriate, that is to say, <i>expressive</i> ornament
+allied to concave and convex surfaces, to the
+varied forms of pottery for instance, metal-work,
+and glass vessels, furniture, and accessories of all
+kinds, we shall find the same laws and principles
+hold good which should guide us in all design&mdash;to
+adapt design to the characteristics and conditions
+of the material, to its structural capacity, its use
+and purpose, as well as to use or invention in line,
+both as a controlling plan or base of ornament, as
+well as a means of the association and expression
+of form.</p>

+<p><span class="smcap">Perhaps</span> the most striking means of the
+expression of relief of line and form, certainly
+the most attractive, is by colour. By colour we
+obtain the most complete and beautiful means of
+expression in art.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Relief of Line and Form by Colour</span></p>
+
+<p>Our earliest ideas of form are probably derived
+through the different colours of objects around us,
+by which they are thrown into relief upon the
+background, or against other objects; and, as I
+mentioned in the first chapter, we reach outline by
+observing the edges of different masses relieved
+as dark or light upon light or dark grounds, so
+now, in my last, we come again to the consideration
+of the definition of line and form by colour,
+and their relief and expression upon different
+planes or fields of colour.</p>
+<p>&nbsp;
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_257" id="Page_257">[257]</a></span>
+</p>
+<p>There is first the colour of the object itself&mdash;the
+local colour&mdash;and then the colour of the ground
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_258" id="Page_258">[258]</a></span>
+upon which it is relieved, both of which in their
+action and reaction upon each other will greatly
+affect the value of the local colour and the degree
+of relief of the form upon it.</p>
+
+<p>One of the best and simplest ways to ascertain
+the real value of a colour and its effect upon different
+grounds or fields is to take a flower&mdash;say a
+red poppy, and place it against a white paper
+ground, blocking in the local colour as relieved
+upon white, as near as may be to its full strength,
+with a brush, and defining the form as we go
+along. Then try the same flower upon grounds
+of different tints&mdash;green, blue, yellow&mdash;and it will
+be at once perceived what a different value and
+expression the same form in the same colour has
+upon different tinted grounds. A scarlet poppy
+would appear clearest and darkest upon white; it
+would show a tendency upon a blue ground to
+blend or blur at its edges, and also on yellow and
+green to a less extent.</p>

+	/>
+</div>
+
+<p>It is this tendency to lose the edges of forms
+owing to the radiation of colours, and to mingle
+with the colour of the background, which makes a
+strong outline so constantly a necessity in decorative
+work. One may use a black on a white, a
+brown, or a gold outline (as in cloisonn&eacute;), the
+nature of the outline being generally determined
+by the nature of the work. In stained glass the
+outline must be black, and this black is of the
+greatest value in enhancing by opposition the
+brilliance of the colours of the glass it incloses,
+stopping out the light around it as it does in solid
+lead when placed in the window.</p>

+<p><span class="sn">Clearing Coloured Forms</span></p>
+
+<p>A white outline produced by a resist or a mordant
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_260" id="Page_260">[260]</a></span>
+in a printed textile, where the colours used
+are full and rich, often has a good effect, lightening
+the effect while giving point and definition to certain
+leading forms. Instances of the use of white
+outlines may be found in Eastern carpets, where
+the main colours, being dark blue and yellows on
+rich red, are relieved in parts by a dull white outline.
+Also in Persian carpets of the sixteenth or
+seventeenth century, the scrollwork in red is often
+relieved by an ivory white outline on blue.</p>
+
+<p>It is always a good practice in blocking in
+flowers, either from nature or as parts of a design,
+to leave a white outline at the junctions&mdash;that is
+to say, where one petal overlaps another, or where
+there is a joint in the stem, or a fold in the leaf&mdash;and
+to show the ribbings, markings, and divisions
+of flower and leaf.</p>
+
+<p>By judiciously changing the quality of our tints
+it is possible to make different colours in a pattern
+tell clearly. To relieve red upon blue, for instance,
+one would use an orange red upon greenish
+blue, or scarlet upon a gray blue&mdash;the general
+principle being apparently a kind of compensating
+balance between colours, so that in taking from
+one you give to another.</p>
+
+<p>A full red and blue used together, as we have
+seen, would show a tendency to purple, unless
+separated by outlines; so that if the blue was
+full and rich, the red would have to approach
+brown or russet; or if the red was a full one&mdash;a
+crimson red&mdash;the blue would have to approach
+green.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Harmony</span></p>
+
+<p>This may be because of the necessary complements
+in colours, which we see in nature, and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_261" id="Page_261">[261]</a></span>which prepossess the eye, and make it demand
+these modifications to satisfy the sense of harmony.</p>
+
+<p>When daylight struggles with candle- or lamp-light,
+one may notice that upon the white cloth of
+a dinner-table the light is blue and the shadows
+yellow or orange&mdash;the orange deepening as with
+the fading daylight the blue grows deeper, until
+the colour of the light and the shadow change
+places. The same principle may be noticed in
+firelight, but the redder the flame the greener will
+be the shadows.</p>
+
+<p>Harmony in colour may be said to consist&mdash;apart
+from the general acknowledgment of the
+law of complementaries, in giving quality to the
+raw pigments by gradation, by a certain admixture
+or infusion of other colours.</p>
+
+<p>To begin with the negatives&mdash;white and black&mdash;white
+may be creamy or silvery; black may be
+of a greenish or a bluish or brownish tone; then
+the primaries&mdash;red, blue, yellow, or red, green,
+violet&mdash;red may range from crimson to orange
+and russet; yellow may approach green or gold;
+green may be first cousin to blue; blue may be
+turquoise on the one hand, and touch purple upon
+the other; and so on through infinite variations of
+half tints and tones.</p>
+
+<p>No doubt it is an easier matter to harmonize
+half tints than full bright colours, which may
+account for the prevalence of the former in decorative
+work. Nature's pattern-book, too, is full
+of half tones and mixed tints.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">The Colour Sense</span></p>
+
+<p>We may not all see colour precisely in the same
+way, and the same colour may appear to be of a
+different tint to different eyes; and it seems
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_262" id="Page_262">[262]</a></span>certain that climate and surroundings affect the colour
+sense: light and colour will stimulate the delight
+in colour; while, where grayness and dullness
+characterize the surroundings of life, the colour
+sense will grow weak, or, if it is manifested at all,
+it will show a tendency to grayness and heaviness
+of tint.</p>
+
+<p>The art of the different peoples of the world
+illustrates this, and, as we may see by turning
+from east to west, or from north to south, or even
+from winter to summer, in the main the love of
+colour follows the sun, like the rainbow.</p>
+
+<p>We can all do something to cultivate our sense
+of colour, however, and there is no better way
+than studying the harmonies and varieties of
+nature. Even the town-dweller is not altogether
+deprived of the sight of the sky, which constantly
+unfolds the most beautiful compositions both of
+form and colour.</p>
+
+<p>As to the choice of colours in decorative design,
+so far as that is not narrowed by the particular
+conditions of the work, we must be guided by
+much the same considerations as would serve us
+in designing generally, and must, of course, think
+of appropriateness to position and purpose. Much
+depends, too, upon proportions of colour, and a
+beautiful and harmonious effect may be produced
+in a room by keeping the colour in a particular
+key, or even delicately varying the designs and
+tints of one or two colours. The same might be
+said in arranging a scheme of colouring for any
+particular piece of design&mdash;say, a painted panel
+or a textile pattern; although such things must
+ultimately be governed by their relation to other
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_263" id="Page_263">[263]</a></span>parts in any general scheme&mdash;circumstances necessitate
+their being often designed apart. Still,
+if the colour of a pattern has been carefully thought
+out, or rather harmoniously felt, as a real organic
+thing, it is sure to fit into its place when its time
+comes.</p>
+
+<p>In arranging our design of colour we can have
+no better guide, as to proportions and quality,
+than nature, and should do well, as a matter of
+practice, to take a flower, or the plumage of a
+bird, or the colours of a landscape, and adapt
+them to some particular pattern or scheme of
+decoration, following the relative degrees of tint
+and their quantities as nearly as possible. To do
+this successfully requires some invention and
+taste; but successful, or unsuccessful, one could
+hardly fail to learn something positive and valuable
+about colour, if the attempt was conscientiously
+made; and fresher motives and sweeter
+colour would be more likely to result from such
+study.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Importance of Pure Tints</span></p>
+
+<p>I think it is a very important thing in all decorative
+work to keep one's colours pure in quality,
+and to avoid muddy or heavy tints. Brown is an
+especially difficult colour to use, because of its
+generally heavy effect as a pigment, and the difficulty
+of harmonizing it with other colours except
+as an outline; and even here it makes all the difference
+whether it is a cool or a hot shade. A
+hot brown is most destructive of harmony in
+colours. It is safe, as a rule, to make it lean to
+green, or bronze, or gold.</p>
+
+<p>As a general rule it is well to work either in a
+range of cool tints&mdash;a cool key of colour, or the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_264" id="Page_264">[264]</a></span>reverse&mdash;a warm and rich one. Few cool harmonies
+can be better than ultramarine and turquoise
+on greenish white, of which the Persians
+and Indians are so fond in tile-work. They are
+delightful to the eye, while peculiarly adapted to
+the work, owing their quality to the oxide of
+copper, which the firing brings out so well.</p>
+
+<p>Blues and greens and grays, relieved with white
+and yellow and orange: or, reds and yellows, relieved
+with white and opposed by blacks, generally
+answer: or a range of reds together, or range of
+blues, or of yellows, with black and white for contrast
+and accent. Blue and white, too, can be
+modified in quality; black may be greenish in
+tone, or brownish, bluish, or purplish according to
+the harmony aimed at. White may be pure or
+ivory-toned, cream-coloured or influenced by other
+colours, and should vary in degree according to the
+strength of the harmony. This brings us to the
+question of tone.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Tones and Planes</span></p>
+
+<p>Now the ornamentist, the designer of patterns,
+relies for his effect upon the use of certain planes
+and oppositions of tints to relieve and express his
+design, to emphasize its main motive, to bring out
+or to subdue its lines and forms. He knows that
+cool flat tints&mdash;blues, greens, grays&mdash;will make
+forms and surfaces retire, and he makes use of
+them for flat and reposeful effects, such as wall
+and ceiling surfaces, adopting the natural principle
+of colour in landscape and sky.</p>
+
+<p>He uses richer and more varied colour in textile
+hangings and carpets, furniture, and accessories&mdash;reds,
+yellows, greens, crimson, russets, orange,
+gold&mdash;which answer to the brighter flowers and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_265" id="Page_265">[265]</a></span>parterres of our gardens, as things to be near the
+eye and touch, and to occur as lesser quantities in
+a scheme of interior colour design.</p>
+
+<p>In the colour design of patterns, harmonious
+and rich effects can be produced by the use of
+pure colour alone, no doubt, if carefully proportioned,
+and separated by outline; though harmony
+is more difficult to attain in pure colours used in
+their full strength; and for their due effect, and to
+avoid harshness, such a treatment really requires
+out-door light or special conditions of lighting, or
+the strong light of eastern or southern countries,
+to soften the effect.</p>
+
+<p>And since we have to adapt our designs to
+their probable surroundings, we usually consciously
+select certain tones or shades of a colour, rather
+than use it absolutely pure or in its full strength.
+The beautiful tone which time gives to all colour-work
+is difficult to rival, but no conscious imitation
+of it is tolerable.</p>
+
+<p>But so long as our aim is strictly to make a
+colour scheme of any kind in relation to itself, or
+in harmony with its conditions, we are on a safe
+and sound path. It is this relativity which is the
+important thing in all decorative art, and which,
+more distinctly than any other quality, distinguishes
+it from pictorial art; although pictorial art is
+under the necessity of the same law in regard
+to itself; and in its highest forms, as in mural
+work, is certainly subject to relativity in its widest
+sense.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Pattern and Picture</span></p>
+
+<p>At first sight it might appear as if there were
+an essential fundamental natural difference between
+a pattern and a picture, but when we come
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_266" id="Page_266">[266]</a></span>to consider it, it appears to be rather a distinction
+than a difference.</p>
+
+<p>A pattern may be an arrangement of lines,
+forms, and a harmony of planes and tones of
+colour.</p>
+
+<p>But these words would describe in general
+terms a picture also.</p>
+
+<p>Certain recurrences of line and form; certain
+re-echoing notes of the same, or allied colour, are
+necessary to both pattern and picture. The abstract
+ingredients appear to be the same in both
+cases.</p>
+
+<p>A picture indeed may be considered as a pattern
+of another sort, and the real difference is that
+whereas a pattern is not necessarily a picture, a
+picture is bound to be a pattern&mdash;a pattern having
+its quantities, its balance of masses, its connecting
+lines, its various planes, its key of colour, its play
+of contrasts, its harmony of tones.</p>
+
+<p>Technically, a picture may be considered as an
+<i>informal</i> pattern, mainly of tone and values; while
+a pattern may be considered as a <i>formal</i> pattern,
+mainly of planes of colour.</p>
+
+<p>The ancient art of the East was all frankly
+pattern-work, whatever the subject pictured.
+Egyptian, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Moorish and
+Arabian art, in all their varieties, show the dominating
+sense of pattern, and the invention of the
+instinctive decorators in the use of colour.</p>
+
+<p>The Japanese, also, are instinctive decorators,
+though in a less formal and more impressionistic
+way, and with much more naturalistic feeling.
+Their pictures printed from colour blocks, as well
+as their "kakimonos," painted on silk, are frankly
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_267" id="Page_267">[267]</a></span>pattern-pictures, the pattern motive being quite
+as strong or stronger than the graphic or representative
+motive.</p>
+
+<p>Medi&aelig;val and early Renaissance painting in
+Europe was frankly more or less formal and of
+the nature of ornament, and even in its freest and
+fullest development, in the works of the great
+masters of the sixteenth century of Venice and
+Florence, a certain decorative or architectural
+feeling was never forgotten.</p>
+
+<p>Painting was still in close association with architecture,
+and was the chief adornment of churches
+and palaces; thus it preserved a peculiar distinction
+and dignity of style. The Dutch school did
+more perhaps to break these old decorative and
+architectural traditions than any other, with their
+domestic and purely naturalistic motives, their
+pursuit of realism, atmospheric effect, and chiaroscuro&mdash;that
+fascinating goal of painting.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Chiaroscuro</span></p>
+
+<p>Yet there were some of the seventeenth-century
+masters, and of the best, such as De Hooghe and
+Ver Meer of Delft, who showed themselves very
+much alive to decorative effect, which their power
+of chiaroscuro&mdash;the power of painting things in
+their proper atmosphere, as lost in transparent
+depths of shadow, or found in luminous mystery&mdash;only
+seemed to enhance.</p>
+
+<p>As a wonderful instance of ornamental and
+dignified design carried into every detail with
+most careful draughtsmanship, and yet beautiful
+in chiaroscuro and grave colour, there is no finer
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_268" id="Page_268">[268]</a></span>
+example than J. Van Eyck's portrait-picture of
+"Jan Arnolfini and his Wife" in our National
+Gallery. Such pictures as these would tell as
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_269" id="Page_269">[269]</a></span>
+rich and precious gems upon the wall, and would
+form the centres to which the surrounding colour
+patterns and decoration would lead up, as in the
+picture the little mirror reflecting the figures shines
+upon the wall, a picture within a picture.</p>

+
+<p>We have a plain white wall, exquisite in tone,
+upon which the crisp gold of the small picture inclosing
+a brownish landscape with a blue and
+white sky, and the broad black frame of the picture
+of Cupid tell strongly, yet fall into plane behind
+the figure in white satin&mdash;quite a different quality
+of white, and warmer and brighter than the wall.
+The bodice is a steely blue silk, which is repeated
+in the velvet seat of the chair; while the blue and
+white landscape upon the open lid of the spinet
+repeats the blue and white landscape on the wall,
+and the blue and white motive is subtly re-echoed
+in a subdued key in the little tiles lining the base
+of the wall. The floor is a chequer of black and
+white (mottled) marble, which gives a fine relief
+to the dress and repeats the emphatic black of the
+picture frame; the stand of the spinet is also black
+striated marble. Quiet daylight falls through the
+greenish white of the leaded panes. The pink-brown
+woodwork of the spinet and chair prevent
+the colour scheme from being cold. The flesh is
+very pale and ivory-like in tone, but the dress is
+enlivened by little crisp scarlet and gold touches
+in the narrow laces which tie the sleeves.</p>
+
+<p>The little picture is a gem of painting and truth
+of tone, and at the same time might well suggest
+a charming scheme of colour to an ornamentist.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Van Eyck</span></p>
+
+<p>Examine the Van Eyck in the same way, and
+we shall find a very rich but quiet scheme of colour
+in a lower key, highly decorative, yet presented
+with extraordinary realistic force, united with extreme
+refinement and exquisite chiaroscuro, and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_271" id="Page_271">[271]</a></span>truth of tone and value, as a portrait-picture, and
+piece of interior lighting.</p>
+
+<p>It is like taking an actual peep into the inner
+life of a Flemish burgher of the fifteenth century.</p>
+
+<p>One seems to breathe the still air of the quiet
+room, the gray daylight falling through the leaded
+casements, one of which stands open, and shows
+a narrow strip of luminous sky and suggestion of
+a garden with scarlet blossoms in green leaves.</p>
+
+<p>The man is clad in a long mantle of claret-brown
+velvet edged with fur, over black tunic and
+hose. He wears a quaint black hat upon his
+head, which almost foreshadows the tall hat of the
+modern citizen. The pale strange face looks paler
+and stranger beneath it, but is in character with
+the long thin hands. The figure gives one the
+impression of legal precision and dryness, and a
+touch of clerical formality. The wife is of a buxom
+and characteristic Flemish type, in a grass-green
+robe edged with white fur, over peacock blue; a
+crisp silvery white head-dress; a dark red leather
+belt with silver stitching. Her figure is relieved
+upon the subdued red of the bed hangings, continued
+in the cover of the settle and the red clogs.
+The wall of the room, much lost in transparent
+shade, is of a greenish gray tone, and in the centre,
+between the figures, a circular convex mirror
+sparkles on the wall reflecting the backs of the
+figures. Thin lines delicately repeat the red in
+the mirror frame, which has a black and red inner
+moulding. A string of amber beads hangs on the
+wall, and repeats the shimmer of the bright brass
+candelabra which hangs aloft, and which is drawn
+carefully enough for a craftsman to reproduce.</p>

+</p>
+
+<p>Both designer and painter may find abundant
+suggestion in this picture, which, with Ver Meer's
+"Lady at the Spinet," I should describe as
+<i>pattern-pictures</i>&mdash;that
+is to say, while they are thoroughly
+painter's pictures, and give all the peculiar qualities
+of oil-painting in the rendering of tone and values,
+they yet show in their colour scheme the decorative
+quality, and might be translated into patterns of the
+same proportions and keys of colours.</p>
+
+<p>As examples of what might be termed picture-patterns
+we might recur to the wall paintings, as
+I have said, of ancient Egypt and early art generally,
+for their simplest forms; but to take a much
+later instance, and from the art of Florence in the
+fifteenth century, look at Botticelli's charming little
+picture of "The Nativity," in the National Gallery.
+It has all the intentional, or perhaps instinctive,
+ornamental aim of Italian art, and its colour scheme
+shows a most dainty and delicate invention in the
+strictest relation to the subject and sentiment, and
+is arranged with the utmost subtlety and the nicest art.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Botticelli</span></p>
+
+<p>The ring of angels above, for instance, is partly
+relieved upon a gilded ground&mdash;to represent the
+dome of heaven. They bear olive branches, and
+the colour of their robes alternates in the following
+order: rose, olive (shot with gold), and white.</p>
+
+<p>The <i>rose-coloured</i> angels have <i>olive and white
+wings</i>; the <i>white angels, rose and olive wings</i>; and
+<i>the olive angels, white and rose wings</i>.</p>
+
+<p>This part of the picture by itself forms a most
+beautiful pattern motive, while it expresses the
+idea of peace and goodwill.</p>
+
+<p>Then on the brown and gold thatch of the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_273" id="Page_273">[273]</a></span>stable occur three more angels in white, rose, and
+green, respectively. Against a pale sky rise rich
+olive-green trees, forming the background.</p>

+
+<p>The Virgin strikes the brightest ray of colour
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_274" id="Page_274">[274]</a></span>in red under-robe and sky-blue mantle. There is
+a gray white ass and a pale brown cow behind
+her.</p>
+
+<p>St. Joseph is in steel gray with a golden orange mantle over.</p>
+
+<p>The brightest white occurs in the drapery upon
+which the infant Christ lies.</p>
+
+<p>An angel with a group of men appears, kneeling
+on the left relieved against white rocks; their
+colours are&mdash;the angel's wings&mdash;peacock blue and
+green, and a pale rose robe. The next figure is
+in scarlet; the next yellow; and the third man
+wears pale rose over rich grass-green.</p>
+
+<p>Of the shepherds on the right the first one is in
+russet and white, the next steely gray, and the
+angel is in white with rose and pale green wings.</p>
+
+<p>The ground is generally warm white and brown,
+with dark olive-coloured grass and foliage, so that
+the pattern of the picture is mainly a ground of
+olive, gold, and white, relieved by spots of rose,
+white, blue, yellow, and rose-red and scarlet&mdash;the
+colour in the groups of angels embracing men in
+front being the deepest in tone.</p>
+
+<p>The first angel in this group (on the left) wears
+green shot with gold, with shot green and gold
+wings, the human being in dark olive and rich
+crimson red.</p>
+
+<p>Next is a white angel with pale rose wings; the
+man in gray with a red mantle over.</p>
+
+<p>Last is an angel in rose, with rose and red
+wings, the man being in scarlet with gray mantle
+over. All the men hold olive branches, and the
+group emphatically illustrates the idea of "on
+earth peace and goodwill towards men," thus
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_275" id="Page_275">[275]</a></span>ending on the keynote both of colour and idea
+given in the ring of angels above.</p>
+
+<p>Thus it is not only a lovely picture, but an exquisite pattern.</p>
+
+<p><span class="sn">Holbein</span></p>
+
+<p>Another instance of a picture-pattern extremely
+strong and brilliant in its realization of the full

+<p>Hardly less ornamental in its more conscious

+
+<p>Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadne" is, perhaps,
+more what I have described as a pattern-picture,
+and is of a much later type. The full flush of
+colour and pagan joy of the Renaissance is here
+paramount, expressed with the masterly freedom of
+drawing and magnificent colour sense of the great
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_279" id="Page_279">[279]</a></span>Venetian master. Yet, looking through the life,
+the movement, the swing and vitality of the figures,
+and the power and poetry by which the story is
+conveyed, we shall find a fine ornate design, sustaining
+an extremely rich and sumptuous pattern
+of colour. We have a spread of deep-toned blue
+sky barred with silvery white and gray clouds,
+great masses of brown and green foliage swaying
+against it, above a band of deep blue sea, and a
+field of rich golden brown earth. Warm flesh tones,
+deep and pale, break upon this with a
+gorgeous pattern of flying rose, blue, scarlet,
+orange, and white draperies, varied with the
+spotted coats of the leopards, the black of the
+dog, and the copper vessel and warm white of
+tumbled drapery.</p>

+
+<p>The "Sacred and Profane Love" of the same

+
+<p><span class="sn">Paul Veronese</span></p>
+
+<p>In Paul Veronese we find a cooler key of colour
+generally, with a fondness for compositions of
+figures with classical architecture, the rich patterned
+robes and varied heads contrasting pleasantly
+with the severe verticals and smooth surfaces
+of the marble columns&mdash;a sumptuous and dignified
+kind of picture-pattern, and fully adapted to the

+
+<p>These are but a few instances out of many, and
+the subject of colour and pattern, like the expression
+of line and form, of which it is a part, is
+so large and its sides so multitudinous that to deal
+with the subject fully and illustrate it adequately
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_281" id="Page_281">[281]</a></span>would need, not ten chapters, but ten hundred,

+in any way to clear away obscurities, or to lighten
+the labours of students, or to suggest fresh ideas
+to the minds of any of my readers in the theory,
+history, or practice of art, I shall feel that my work
+has not been in vain, and, at all events, I can only
+say that I have endeavoured to give here the
+results of my own thoughts and experience in art.

+Some may look upon art as a means of livelihood
+only, a handmaid of commerce, or as a branch of
+knowledge, to be acquired only so far as to enable
+one to impart it to others; others may regard it as
+a polite amusement; others, again, as an absorbing
+pursuit and passion, demanding the closest devotion:
+but from whatever point of view we may
+regard it, do not let us forget that the pursuit of
+beauty in art offers the best of educations for the
+faculties, that its interest continually increases, and
+its pleasures and successes are the most refined
+and satisfying.</p>

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
