Not least among its roots is change in our scientific understanding of motion.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKepes covers the many facets of motion and offers us a seminal pattern of interseeing, necessary if we are to achieve a greater understanding of our contemporary environment. This work examines motion as a pervasive aspect of nature and a key problem of contemporary physics; evolutionary motion as seen in the continual transformation of matter and ideas; perception of motion and its role as a generator of vision and insight; modern techniques, such as the film, which have used motion to extend the range of man-made images; the influence of the complex dynamics of the visual world on our ways of seeing, as expressed in some contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Gyorgy Kepes (editor)\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Nature and Art of Motion\u003cbr\u003e\nEdition: Third printing\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: New York: George Braziller, 1965\u003cbr\u003e\nPhysical Description: Hardcover; Folio; 233p\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Good condition dust jacket with edge wear, toning, rubbing to surfaces and waviness—in protector.
