This semester I’m taking a class called Art & Biology (yes I am very excited). For the first day we watched a video of Leonard Shlain’s lecture on Physics and Art. It was a really great explanation of how the different movements in both art and science have coincided throughout history. The lecture completely made me rethink my understanding of Picasso, Manet, Pollock etc. in terms of space, time, and light. It also demonstrated that science follows fashion just as much as art does.
