Description
Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 23 cm). In English. 304 p., ills. The language of designs is the product of a different approach to the understanding of carpets: an interpretive rather than merely a descriptive approach. Today, hermeneutics and semiology are emerging as methods of choice which aim a look deeper than outward appearance. Moving beyond a superficial examination they emphasize deeper interpretations. Progressing from appearance to actual meaning means reevaluation of both the way a carpet is perceived and the elements which comprise its design.
