The purpose of ornament-to articulate a realm of the imagination-is
as important as it is misunderstood. Kent Bloomer, an outstanding
sculptor and ornamenter whose work adorns the Harold Washington
Library, Chicago, Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC, and
other buildings, maintains that ornament is neither pure "art" in
the contemporary sense of the word nor mere decoration, but rather
a category unto itself, with its own unique language. He describes
the key elements of ornament, rhythm and metamorphosis, and shows
their application in such figures as the foliated scroll.
Illustrated with the author's evocative line drawings and
photographs of ornament from ancient Greece to the modern
cityscape, the book is a hymn to the riches of architectural
ornament.
