Summary:
"This richly-illustrated volume explores ornament in architecture, art, and design with more than 150 images of objects that include eighteenth-century Indian textiles, contemporary patisserie designs, Pennsylvania Dutch Fraktur drawings, graffiti art, Albrecht Dürer's woodblock-print knots, and drawings by Louis Sullivan and David Adjaye. Featuring texts by a distinguished group of curators, a designer, an architect, and a writer, The Clamor of Ornament foregrounds ornaments potential as a mode of communication, a form of currency, and a means of exchange across geographies and cultures"--from back cover
