Why does a vertical form have such a strong presence?

In The Language of Verticality: Art, Perception, and Architectural Space, contemporary abstract painter Leon Vitale explores how verticality becomes a visual language.

Beginning with the upright body and our experience of gravity, the book examines the physical and psychological foundations of the vertical. It moves from standing stones and columns to Gothic cathedrals and skyscrapers, and from the paintings of Titian and Barnett Newman to the spatial relationships found in the work of Donald Judd and Daniel Buren.

Written in clear, accessible language, the book considers how forms direct our attention, how intervals create rhythm, and how architecture participates in our experience of an artwork. Pencil sketches accompany the text, illustrating ideas and examples.

Vitale also brings these observations into his own artistic practice, exploring how separate vertical elements can be experienced as one composition, and how their coloured surfaces, proportions, and placement establish a relationship with the surrounding space.

For artists, architects, designers, and art professionals interested in art and perception, The Language of Verticality offers a thoughtful exploration of verticality and its possibilities for creating and shaping our experience of space.
