(George Adolphus) 1834 1919 Storey, George Adolphus The Theory and Practice of Perspective E-text prepared by Louise Hope, Suzanne Lybarger, Jonathan Ingram, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The Theory and Practice of Perspective" by G. A. Storey is an instructional guide on the principles and applications of perspective, written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive resource for artists, particularly painters, sculptors, and architects, who seek to master the science of perspective in their visual representations. Storey's text emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying reasoning behind perspective techniques, rather than relying solely on memorization or imitation. The opening of the book outlines the foundational significance of perspective in the artistic process, as highlighted through references to master artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Turner. Storey critiques the common neglect of perspective study among art students and emphasizes that a strong grasp of perspective is essential for creating compelling and harmonious visual compositions. He argues that artists must approach their work with a well-defined understanding of spatial relationships, whether for large-scale compositions or intricate details, to avoid confusion and ensure unity within their artworks. This serves not only as practical advice but also as a philosophical stance on the value of deep comprehension in the arts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
