| Art & Physics |
|
|
|
- Leonard Shlain |
1991 | |
|
Art interprets the visible
world, physics charts its unseen
workings--making two realms seem completely opposed.
But 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 coming upheaval in
physics, 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. |

- Manfred Clynes |
1977 | |
|
Dr. Clynes, a distinguished scientist and acclaimed pianist, developed a theory and technology of sentics which he explains in this book first published in 1977. His discovery of basic brain wave shapes associated with colors lead to identification of characteristic sentic forms for such emotions as love, hate, anger grief, joy and reverence‚ that can be measured by touch.‚ His sentic forms are, in essence, universal, biologically-based archetypes of emotion. |
