Art, Science, and the Spiritual by Lynn Gamwell One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2003 This sumptuous and stunningly illustrated book shows how directly, profoundly and indisputably modern science has transformed modern art. Beginning in the mid-19th century, a strange and exciting world came into focus--a world of microorganisms in myriad shapes and colors, prehistoric fossils, bizarre undersea creatures, spectra of light and sound, and atomic particles. EXPLORING THE INVISIBLE reveals that the world beyond the naked eye, made visible by advances in science, has been a major inspiration for artists ever since, influencing the subjects they choose as well as their techniques and modes of representation. Images from science and art, both well-known and rare, reveal the scientific sources mined by Impressionist and Symbolist painters, Art Nouveau sculptors and architects, Cubists, Modernist and contemporary artists. Oversized hardcover; 344 pp; 156 color illustrations and 208 b/w illustrations. |
