In 1966 When Aldridge received the commission for a film poster, he was at the heart of Swinging London. He had worked with The Beatles and The Who, designed covers for Penguin paperbacks and been namechecked by the Tory MP Jonathan Aitken in an article about the in crowd, the "Young Meteors". René Magritte and MC Escher informed the visual style of Aldridge's poster for Chelsea Girls, which won him a Silver Award from the Design and Art Directors Club - and a warrant of arrest for pornography charges. He went into hiding for a few days until his lawyer got the charges dropped. "This is Swinging London," says Aldridge, "and I'm being persecuted and hunted for a pair of nipples."

Platonic & Archimedean Solids ~ Daud Sutton

First to recommend

Description

"Platonic & Archimedean Solids" was my first book from the Wooden Books collection. I've been addicted to their fine books ever since.

Wooden Books are small, beautifully produced introductions to the Liberal Arts, captivating scientists and artists alike. With exquisite illustrations, superfine printing, and the finest quality recycled papers, this series is in a league of its own.

Book Description
Whereas Sacred Geometry introduced readers to two-dimensional forms, Platonic & Archimedean Solids presents the world of three dimensions, which was understood as early as neolithic time. Daud Sutton elegantly explores the eighteen forms—from the cube to the octahedron and icosidodecahedron—that are the universal building blocks of three-dimensional space, and shows the fascinating relationships between them. For anyone interested in design, architecture, and mathematics, this will be a delight. (via Books Inc.)
