by Samuel Colman (Author), C. Arthur Coan (Editor)

Nature's Harmonic Unity: A Treatise On Its Relation To Proportional Form is a book written by Samuel Colman and first published in 1912. The book explores the relationship between nature, harmony, and proportional form. Colman argues that nature is inherently harmonious and that this harmony can be expressed through proportional form. He examines various examples from nature, such as the growth patterns of plants and the proportions of the human body, to illustrate his point. Colman also discusses the history of proportional form in art and architecture, including the use of the golden ratio. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, Nature's Harmonic Unity is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between nature and art, and how the principles of harmony and proportion can be used to create beautiful and meaningful works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
