Arranging Things: A Rhetoric of Object Placement
This highly sought-after book by American artist and author Leonard Koren utilizes the language of rhetoric to portray visual arrangement as a ‘communicational act: its own language-like form of aesthetic expression’. Koren’s insightful and welcoming meditation is distilled into 8 rhetorical principles presented alongside 23 paintings by artist Nathalie Du Pasquier. Arranging Things is not merely a popular book on design; it is a landmark text, a practical manifesto of aesthetic beauty, one for brightening and broadening the way we understand and arrange our worlds.
