THE NATURE AND ART OF MOTION
New York: George Braziller, 1965. Hardcover. Third printing. Signed by Gyorgy Kepes on the front flyleaf. "This work examines motion as a pervasive aspect of nature and a key problem of contemporary physics; evolutionary motion as seen in the continual transformation of matter and ideas; perception of motion and its role as a generator of vision and insight; modern techniques, such as the film, which have used motion to extend the range of man-made images; the influence of the complex dynamics of the visual world on our ways of seeing, as expressed in some contemporary art." Kepes (1906-2001) was a Hungarian-born painter and photographer who taught design at the New Bauhaus in Chicago and founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
