Pollock, Mondrian and Nature: Recent Scientific Investigations
نویسنده
چکیده
The abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian and Jackson Pollock are traditionally regarded as representing opposite ends of the diverse visual spectrum of Modern Art. In this article, I present an overview of recent scientific research that investigates the enduring visual appeal of these paintings.

Fractal analysis of tree paintings by Piet Mondrian (1872-1944)
We examine two paintings by Piet Mondrian, and suggest that his depiction of tree foliages exhibit fractal patterns of a specific dimension. Our analysis implies that fractality may possess an aesthetic value that affected Mondrian, perhaps in a similar way as it inspired Jackson Pollock, another famous painter who incorporated fractality in several of his paintings. In recent years there has b...
متن کاملInvestigations on the structural, electrical properties and conduction mechanism of CuO nanoflakes
Copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures are of particular interest because of their interesting properties and promising applications in batteries, super capacitors, solar cells, gas sensors, bio sensors, nano fluids and catalysis. In Recent past, more efforts have been received to design materials with different properties which is dependent on morphology. In this work cupric oxide nano flakes were...

متن کاملARTIGO 6 - RICHARD TAYLOR.p65
The art world changed forever when Jackson Pollock picked up a can and poured paint onto a vast canvas rolled across the floor of his windswept barn. Fifty years on, art theorists recognize his patterns as being a revolutionary approach to aesthetics. A significant step forward in understanding Pollock’s aesthetics occurred in 1999 when my scientific analysis showed that his paintings are fract...
متن کاملConceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity
In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff’s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, the concepts of order and complexity in an image (in our case, a painting) are analyzed in the light of Shannon entropy and Kolmogorov complexity. We also present a new vision...
