The Dimensional Artist's Toolkit Nathan Coppedge

In this original work, the author (an abstract artist) demonstrates what he calls the 'many-folded forms' of artistic expression. Art cannot be outdone as a symbol both for variation and the transcendental. Art represents not just 'power' and 'motion, ' but arguably every type of genius. The author believes that genius can be taught, and introduces guidance on many aspects of aesthetics. Included are numerous illustrations showing how the categories of art theory are foundational for many aesthetic choices and techniques. The work is a propo in that it extends the functions and models available for the contemporary artist. This, the fifth volume of the encyclopedia is devoted to aesthetics out of a profound deference to its underlying importance in a wide variety of disciplines. In particular, it introduces a variety of techniques related to Hyper-Cubism, a form of art that the author calls 'the next iteration of Cubism'. It poses an exciting opportunity for the aesthetic connoisseur. It is perhaps the first concientious guide to modern art taking place during the very life of the movement.
