Description
Leonard Shlain's Art & Physics explores the surprising connections between artistic and scientific breakthroughs throughout history. By tracing the development of art and physics side by side, Shlain reveals how visual images and mathematical concepts have influenced each other in unexpected ways.
The book takes a lively and colorful look at how artists have foreshadowed the discoveries of scientists, from classical Greek sculptors to modern-day artists like Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. A seamless integration of art and science, Art & Physics is an exhilarating history of ideas that sheds new light on the intersections between creativity and discovery.
