Dutch artist Gerard Caris, born in 1925, works exclusively with pentagonal forms or their spatial equivalents, dodecahedra--explored here in sculptures, reliefs, paintings, graphics and drawings that are as reminiscent of Constructivism as Op art. This volume also documents Caris' research on the historical, scientific and mystical significance of these geometric forms.
