Art interprets the visible world, physics charts its unseen workings—making the two realms seem completely opposed. But in Art & Physics, Leonard Shlain tracks their breakthroughs side by side throughout history to reveal an astonishing correlation of visions. From classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists have foreshadowed the discoveries of scientists, such as when Monet and Cezanne intuited the coming upheaval in physics that Einstein would initiate. In this lively and colorful narrative, Leonard Shlain explores how artistic breakthroughs could have prefigured the visionary insights of physicists on so many occasions throughout history. Provocative and original, Art & Physics is a seamless integration of the romance of art and the drama of science, an exhilarating history of ideas, and an enlightened way to introduce physics to liberal arts students. | Art & Physics by Leonard Shlain, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
