In this week’s lecture and reading, we went over the mathematical
view in art. I am lucky enough to have had “performing arts” math and science
teachers in high school that let us explore science and math through performance
and art. I think in viewing art and math as well as art in science, it gives us
a very idea of art. In exploring the fourth dimension as discussed in the Henderson
reading, lines and contours are very apparent. The use of geometric shapes to
create a space that “leaves the plane” all plays in math. I was most interested
in the fact Max Weber subscribed to the fourth dimension view.
In this painting by Max Weber, you can’t really tell where
this painting begins or end. It’s a very abstract piece of art that can’t just
be appreciated a first glance or just one glance. The intricate lines make it
taller while the rounder shapes make it deeper. If we were ever to even try to
make this types of shape in real life, it would take a lot of science in
understanding the material best fit to uphold this shape as well as math in
order to make sure everything was calculated exactly as the painting.
This happens to be a bit more abstract than the art shown in
lecture but I believe still carries the same type of outline that those pieces
of art did.
