Ausdrucksbewegung und Gestaltungskraft
Ausdrucksbewegung und Gestaltungskraft is a German psychology treatise by Ludwig Klages, published in Leipzig by Wilhelm Engelmann in 1913, on expression, emotion, character and will, with graphology among its subjects. Its three pictures are plain diagrams and small printed devices: a bookplate-style vignette with a classical temple and the word LITTERIS, a shield-shaped emblem with an open book reading Tuum est above rays over waves, and a schematic arrow diagram linking P and W to B nodes. A designer might take the simple emblem geometry and the clean, line-only diagram as models for minimal symbols.
