Art and Physics Summary

The first few chapter of this book, as previously outlined, explore the concept that art and physics are, although very different, conceptually are created of very similar concert ground. The common ground amongst the two being the interest in the nature of reality. Through the first few chapters these conceptually intrging ideas are explored through literature, philosophy and religion.

Chapter 8, titled Modern Art, Newton Triumph, begins a new approach analyzing actual pieces of art, starting with post modern impressionism pieces such as Manet and Monet's work. In the following chapters Shlain connects modern art and nature to future patterned discoveries of physics. The point of the invention of the camera comes about as a prime example of the reality being captured by both are and science. Art is further discussed and compared with space, time, and lights, as the books titled infers. For example photography means "writing with light." This analysis continues for 11 chapters in detail combining the first few chapters. The overall thesis is now bieng compared to literature and physlosphy regarding art art, and space, time, and light regarding science.

Chapter 11 now takes a turn.
