By using fractal math to calculate how the branches of trees are depicted in art, researchers can put a number on what makes for a realistic tree.
Piet Mondrian was an early 20th-century abstract artist and art theorist obsessed with simplicity and essence of form. Even ...
Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple ...
The authors surveyed trees in art, selected to cover a broad geographical range and also for their subjective beauty, and found values from 1.5 to 2.8, which correspond to the range of natural trees.
Even abstract paintings such as Piet Mondrian's 1912 cubist Gray Tree, which doesn’t visually show treelike colours, can be identified as trees if a realistic value for α is used, researchers say.
A Rembrandt painting that was thought to be fake and was stashed in a basement for decades may in fact be genuine, according to experts who believe it was painted on wood from the same tree as ...
Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.
