- Bourgoin, J.,
- Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design.
NK1270.B613 1973 MID EAST
- 190 line drawings of repeating patterns. 10 slightly more filled in plates.
Nice to look at and figure out what the symmetry group for each drawing is.
- Critchlow, K.,
- Islamic Patterns: An Analytical and Cosmological Approach.
N6260.C7 1976b MID EAST
- Very confusing. Knowing nothing of Islam, and being unable to
penetrate his prose, I've found little or nothing of interest except
the drawings. Lots of what appears to me to be numerology.
- El-Said, I.,
- Islamic art and Architecture.

N7430.5.I85 1964
- The book with the speculative hypothesis that Platonism somehow
forced ancient Greek art to be perspectiveless but that Christianity,
with it's "unifying vision", or something like that,
necessitated a method of producing drawings/paintings which showed
relationships between elements of the painting in a more visual manner
than perspectiveless painting.

- Some cheese picture here. One partial thesis is that the math and art from any given period are related. Holt concludes the book with words on onstructivism in art and math. Lots of neat pictures.
