Trees depicted in the artwork of famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci and Piet Mondrian follow the math behind their branching pattern in nature, a new study says. At such a critical moment in US ...

You may not be able to define “fractal” — yet — but fractals are, in fact, everywhere. As you might expect from hearing her title, Hayley Brazier, Donald M. Kerr curator of natural history ...

A new scientific study is challenging long-held beliefs about Jackson Pollock and his iconic “drip paintings,” suggesting that the Abstract Expressionist may have embedded hidden images ...

This hidden math in some abstract paintings may even ... “We analyse trees in artwork as self-similar, fractal forms, and empirically compare art with theories of branch thickness developed ...

A fractal is a shape that repeats itself on different scales ... a Japanese painting from the 1700s, and early 1900s Dutch abstract art. Each of these cultural pieces showed a similar balancing act in ...

"We measure branch diameter scaling in trees and it plays the same role as fractal dimension," Newberry said. "It shows how many more tiny branches there are as you zoom in." While bridging art and ...

The scale invariance in branch diameter dictates how much smaller a limb should be as it branches and how much investment a tree makes in a few thick branches versus many thin ones. Trees have evolved ...

The tree on the right uses such transects to count the number of branches n that have radius approximately r to derive a fractal scaling ... Even abstract works of art that don't visually show ...

Herein, we examined the relationship between retinal vascular fractal dimensions in non-mydriatic color fundus photographs, amyloid-PET burden and APOE4 carrier status in a cohort of cognitively ...

The eye-catching design, a constellation of reflective, abstract shapes hanging from the ceiling in ... They can observe the piece's 'reflective fractals' up close, by approaching via a specially ...

For this Artist Project, Thomas has created a downloadable version of Colonialism and Abstract Art, his critically creative reworking of that famous chart, to print out at home. With it, he invites us ...
