You are packing in alot of information. This study in composition is very rewarding - it does effect how you view paintings. Paintings I've passed by before I now find myself staring at, tracing our compositional principles applied and ignored.<BR/><BR/>I'm nearly done with the Poore book. I agree that there is valuable information in the book. I also agree that it takes work for the modern reader to understand it - work I think is worth doing. I plan to read it again, because much of it did go over my head - or I didn't take time with it.<BR/><BR/>Once Poore is done, I'll begin the Albert and Dow books. This week I'm posting about another book that has some discussion on applying compositional ideas to paintings.<BR/><BR/>And I agree, composition is not something one ever truly masters, only continues enjoying learning about!Rose Weltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313411909909580181noreply@blogger.com
