Description

This is a very good copy of the 4 volume boxed set with only faint soil to the box. Inside, the softcover volumes are completely clean, text and plates fine. Spines not creased. The box has slight wear to the edges, but really very good. This is the best edition of this presentation of coursework which is the Foundation Program at the School of Design in Basel, Switzerland. This program was headed by Emil Ruder until 1970. The four volumes are titled as follows: 1: Object Drawing, Object and Museum Drawing, Nature Drawing; 2: Memory Drawing, Technical Drawing and Perspective, Lettering; 3: Material Studies, Textile Design, Color 2; and 4: Color 1, Graphic Exercises, Dimensional Design. All volumes with short texts and illustrated in color and black & white on almost every page. Many professors and course instructors contributed text and illustrations. 12" high X 9" wide, each volume has 104 pages, so 416 total pages. A very nice unused boxed set.
