Du cubisme au classicisme : esthétique du compas et du nombre / Gino Severini ; préface du R. Allendy.

Severini, Gino, 1883-1966 · 1921 · Paris: J. Povolozky · 22 pictures

Du cubisme au classicisme is a 1921 art theory book by the Italian painter Gino Severini, published in Paris by J. Povolozky with a preface by R. Allendy, addressed to artists and readers interested in modern art. Its pictures are geometric diagrams in plain line: a construction of arches over a baseline, a square with diagonals and perspective lines, a golden spiral set on dashed guides, and a plane-intersection drawing with lettered points, all useful for designers exploring compass-and-proportion layouts.
