ARTS TOPICS

Perspective:  Art and Geometry

This 30 minute presentation will focus on the ways in which artists turn mathematical curiosity into a system for representing three-dimensional space in their two-dimensional paintings.    See the beautiful art of the Gothic and Renaissance periods, see the linear system that formed the basis for these works and learn a little bit about the cooperation and competition among these innovative artists.

 

Libby Reuter, William and Florence Schmidt Art Center Director/Curator
