The Science of Art: Optical Themes in Western Art from Brunelleschi to Seurat

£35.00

In this illustrated book about the connection between art and science, Martin Kemp examines the major optically oriented examples of artistic theory and practice, from Brunelleschi's invention of perspective, and its exploitation by Leonardo and Durer, to the beginnings of photography.

In a discussion of colour theory, Kemp traces two main traditions of colour science- the Aristotelian tradition of primary colours and Newton's prismatic theory that influenced Runge, Turner and Seurat.

This art book provides information for all those interested in the interaction between science and art.
