On Multifractal Structure in Non-Representational Art
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multifractal analysis techniques are applied to patterns in several abstract expressionist artworks, paintined by various artists. The analysis is carried out on two distinct types of structures: the physical patterns formed by a specific color (“blobs”), as well as patterns formed by the luminance gradient between adjacent colors (“edges”). It is found that the analysis method applied to “blobs” cannot distinguish between artists of the same movement, yielding a multifractal spectrum of dimensions between about 1.5−1.8. The method can distinguish between different types of images, however, as demonstrated by studying a radically different type of art. The data suggests that the “edge” method can distinguish between artists in the same movement, and is proposed to represent a toy model of visual discrimination. A “fractal reconstruction” analysis technique is also applied to the images, in order to determine whether or not a specific signature can be extracted which might

Multifractal comparison of the painting techniques of adults and children
Statistical analysis of art, particularly of the abstract genre, is becoming an increasingly important tool for understanding the image creation process. We present a multifractal clustering analysis of non-representational images painted by adults and children using a ‘pouring’ technique. The effective dimensions (D0) are measured for each, as is the associated multifractal depth ΔD = D0 D∞. I...
متن کاملCharacterizing imageability in Gajar houses of Tabriz
Aims: From Lufor’s perspective, space is constructed based on spatial operation, recreation and the space in which recreation takes place. This approach is a descriptive view of the relationship between space from a materialistic point of view and its dominant ideas with its dwellers. In this perspective, humans integrate distinct and indistinct data of space and create map-like mental images f...
متن کاملJoseph Kosuth’s thoughts and Works: Research in the Wittgensteinian Origin of his Conceptual and anti-Aesthetics Trend
This article tries to elucidate Kosuth’s intention in the presentation on conceptual art. It focuses on an explanation about his opposition on aesthetics and formalism with regard to the Wittgensteinian origin of his measurements. For evaluation of what this artist said and what he performed in his artistic works, we concentrate on the artist’s article entitled “art after philosophy”. We also ...
متن کاملApplication of multifractal modeling for separation of sulfidic mineralized zones based on induced polarization and resistivity data in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit, NW Iran
The aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit (NW Iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (RS) using the concentration-volume (C-V) and number-size (N-S) fractal models. The fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. B...
