Its refreshing to see a book open to the idea that science and art can live together in our minds. ( ) I read this when it was first published. I remember how much I enjoyed the adventure through time, space and light--the author delivered on the promise held in the title of the book. Now, some 18 years later I find myself returning to this book as I prepare my Thesis for Grad School. Few books really pass the test of time, especially books treating datable material such as science; however, the theries and ideas the author presents in Art and Physics hold. I will contemplate this author's perception the rest of my life. Illuminating me to the concept of all time existing simultaneously via introduction to artists and scientists. Which comes first...art or science? Leonard illustrates how perfectly logical that the artist 'sees' and projects. Then science steps in to prove the experience of the artist.

Art interprets the visible world. Physics charts its unseen workings. The two realms seem completely opposed. But consider that both strive to reveal truths for which there are no words--with physicists using the language of mathematics and artists using visual images. In Art & Physics, Leonard Shlain tracks their breakthroughs side by side throughout history to reveal an astonishing correlation of visions. From the classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists have foreshadowed the discoveries of scientists, such as when Monet and Cezanne intuited the coming upheaval in physics that Einstein would initiate. In this lively and colorful narrative, Leonard Shlain explores how artistic breakthroughs could have prefigured the visionary insights of physicists on so many occasions throughout history. Provicative and original, Art & Physics is a seamless integration of the romance of art and the drama of science--and an exhilarating history of ideas. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
