| Description: |
Seen | Unseen is a deep analysis of the interconnections between science and the visual arts, in which Martin Kemp takes the reader on richly illustrated journey from the Renaissance masters to the imagery of cutting-edge science. From Leonardo, Durer, and Galileo to the early photographers, and from Darwin to Stephen J. Gould, this book considers the way in which artists and scientists have deceived the world and responded to its patterns. |
| Synopsis: |
Seen | Unseen is a deep, richly illustrated, and erudite analysis of the interconnections between science and the visual arts. Martin Kemp explores the responses of artists, scientists, and their instruments, to the world - ranging from early representations of perspective, to pinhole cameras, particle accelerators and the Hubble telescope. From Leonardo, Durer, and the inventors of photography to contemporary sculptors, and from Galileo and Darwin to Stephen J. Gould, Kemp considers the way in which scientists and artists have perceived the world and responded to its patterns, and sees common 'structural intuitions' reflected in their work. |
