Existing Bonsai A To Z Entry for Artistic Foundations of Bonsai Design (Andy Rutledge) Artistic Foundations of Bonsai Design (Andy Rutledge)  - (Books and Articles) (No Photo) Author : Andy Rutledge Available only on line as far as we know. This book is an effort to help bonsai enthusiasts understand how to use time-honored methods—artistic methods—for producing more successful and meaningful bonsai designs and displays. The text will examine in some detail the language of art as applied to bonsai. This examination of what some perhaps mistakenly call the rules of bonsai is meant to explain and expound upon the commonly cited fundamentals of bonsai styling that are referenced in other texts. This book provides some relevant, important insights into human psychology and perception, but only to a point. The reader should understand, though, that and understanding of psychology and behavioral science is necessary for effective artistry.
