The Dimensional Artist's Toolkit: Or How to Be an Artist in the Post-Cubist Period: A Guide to the Ultimate in Dimensional Aesthetics

by Nathan Coppedge

In this original work, the author (an abstract artist) demonstrates what he calls the ‘many-folded forms’ of artistic expression. Art cannot be outdone as a symbol both for variation and the transcendental. Art represents not just ‘power’ and ‘motion,’ but arguably every type of genius. The author believes that genius can be taught, and introduces guidance on many aspects of aesthetics. Included are numerous illustrations showing how the categories of art theory are foundational for many aesthetic choices and techniques. The work is a propo in that it extends the functions and models available for the contemporary artist. This, the fifth volume of the encyclopedia is devoted to aesthetics out of a profound deference to its underlying importance in a wide variety of disciplines. In particular, it introduces a variety of techniques related to Hyper-Cubism, a form of art that the author calls ‘the next iteration of Cubism’. It poses an exciting opportunity for the aesthetic connoisseur. It is perhaps the first concientious guide to modern art taking place during the very life of the movement.

[Nathan Coppedge]

This text includes many fascinating images and schematics explaining how Hyper-Cubism and conventional modern art 'works'.

It offers insight into some aspects of the modern art world, but is mostly a very excellent hodgepodge art guide designed to train young artists and art voyeurs in the ability to perceive aspects of the art world that are already there.

Of course, creativity is up to the artist. But this guide offers a unique, perhaps unpredictable angle.
