About this book
Ideals in Art, by Walter Crane, is subtitled Papers Theoretical, Practical, Critical. The preface says the collected papers which form this book have been written at different times, and in the intervals of other work. The preface says most of the papers were specially addressed to, and read before, the Art Workers’ Guild.
One paper says there appear to be two sources of derivation or meaning in ornament, the Symbolic and the Constructive. The text says the chequer, that universal and indispensable pattern-motive and pattern-basis, seems obviously to have been suggested by rush platting, or primitive weaving. The text says there never ought to be sky below the eye level on a wall. The text says the hieroglyphic, using the familiar animals and objects of Eastern life as symbols, becomes finally cast, by use and wont, in the course of evolution, into the rigid abstractions of the alphabet.
