Celtic Borders & Decoration

By Courtney Davis
Published by Blandford Press
(1992)
ISBN 0-7137-2330-0

Celtic Art displays an immense richness of design and symbolism which has inspired new ideas and adaptations from today's artists and craftsmen. Following the great international success of his previous Blandford title, The Celtic Art Source Book, Courtney Davis has produced a new volume in which he concentrates on the decorative motifs and borders of the Celtic tradition. Celtic Borders and Decoration combines both abstract and realistic images in over 80 intricate designs. The traditional Celtic motifs - knotwork, spirals, key patterns and zoomorphic designs - are brilliantly executed in the work of this contemporary artist, who fuses ancient symbols and patterns with his own modern ideas and interpretations. The beautiful designs in this book will be an invaluable source of inspiration to artists and designers both amateur and professional - and to all those with an interest in the Celtic heritage. Courtney Davis is an acclaimed artist who works within the tradition of the ancient Celtic style to produce his own unique illustrations and designs. He works from a base in the West Country of Britain where, through his Awen enterprise, he promotes his wide and exciting range of designs.

A4 paperback contains 96 pages of B/W plates.
