Figures in the fourth dimension : mechanical movement for puppets and automata
Ellen Rixford (Author)
"Everywhere in the world, interest in moving sculpture is growing. In books, movies, exhibitions of all kinds, figures that imitate life, or are more "alive" than life itself have seized the public's interest. But there is little available to really teach mechanical movement, in depth, to those who long to learn about it. Figures in the Fourth Dimension remedies this situation. Six years in the making, it is an art book, full of beautiful images. But it is a book which also informs; makes it possible to start creating artworks, rather than merely admire them. It is packed with information. Over a thousand superior quality photographs of hundreds of artworks show the finished pieces and their many mechanical parts. Hundreds of carefully executed technical drawings show in detail how they function." --Book jacket
