Hansmeyer columns

Hansmeyer's astonishing mathematical baroque is here expressed as a series of densely elaborate columns. The form and character feels authentically historical, though impossible to attribute,  as though the designs have originated from an unknown but rich cultural tradition.

- Junichiro Tanizaki, 1977, In Praise Of Shadows
