About This Item
New York, NY: Ballantine Books, 1977. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Soft cover. New/None as Issued. Text/NEW & Bright. 1977 First Edition, 2nd Printing. Softcover/Fine. Kaliedocycle is a 3-dimensional ring made from a chain of solid figures enclosed or bonded by four triangles. The term "kaleidocycle", coined in the 1950s by Wallace Walker by combining the Greek words for kalos (beautiful), eidos (form) & kyklos (ring). This enthralling collaborative volume from Doris Schattschneider & Walker, transforms art work by Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972) into endlessly, reproducing, 3-dimensional, geometric objects as examples what you can do. 43 pgs, b/w photos, w/17 easy-to-assemble paper sculptures, is a guide to mathematic principles & artistic challenges underlying creation of geometric solids.
