Russell shows and discusses the relationship of period style, artistic choices and historical mind sets of all the art forms from architecture to music, from styles of clothing to history and discusses how they connect. He gives you a sweeping yet specific understanding of every age, then brings that understanding into the theater of the day.

(STAGE COSTUME DESIGN Theory, Technique and Style, by Doug...)
STAGE COSTUME DESIGN Theory, Technique and Style, by Douglas A. Russell of Stanford University, California. Comprehensive textbook and how-to instructional about costume design for the theatre, but these principles translate well to other media. Published by Prentice-Hall Books in 1973. This was one of my primary reference books when I was a costume design major at NYU in the 1980s. There are underlines here and there, written notes and asterisks under information I thought was important, but no yellow highlighting or other defacement. If you don't mind this, I hope that this excellent book will find a new home. Hardcover black book without dust jacket. There are a few color illustrations, but most are in black and white. 593 pages. Measures 7.5 by 10.25 inches.
