STRIPES: DESIGN BETWEEN THE LINES 英文原版

　　The simplest and most ancient of all decorativemarkings, stripes continue to fascinate. Natural inspirations inthe forms of zebra stripes, rippled sand dunes, and intricatelygnarled wood grain have led us to use stripes in every permutation:on human bodies from elaborate woven textiles to the iconic BretonT-shirt to sharp pin-striped suits, in art from the earliest cavepaintings to vibrant op art canvases, and in industrial design fromWorld War II-era dazzle battleships to the ubiquitous bar code.Their appeal endures. With over 250 full-colour images, "Stripes:Design Between the Lines" provides a wholly original look at one ofthe most recognizable patterns of all time. The illustrationscreate a rollicking visual ride while the accompanying text byturns witty and weighty shows how these potent, sometimes chargedsymbols have even changed the course of world history.
