The art of composition : a simple application of dynamic symmetry

The Art of Composition: A Simple Application of Dynamic Symmetry" by Michel Jacobs is a seminal work that explores the principles of dynamic symmetry in art. Jacobs delves into the mathematical underpinnings of composition, emphasizing the importance of balance, proportion, and harmony in creating visually pleasing artwork. The book introduces readers to the concept of dynamic symmetry, a system based on geometric shapes and ratios that artists can use to structure their compositions. Jacobs provides practical guidance, with illustrations and examples demonstrating how these principles can be applied in various art forms. By bridging theory and practice, the book serves as a valuable resource for artists seeking to enhance their compositional skills and create more compelling and aesthetically balanced works.
