Art & Physics

  • Leonard Shlain (1937 – 2009) was a renowned visionary thinker, educator, best-selling author and surgeon. In his book Art and Physics he proposes that the visionary artist is the first member of a culture to see the world in a new way. Then, nearly simultaneously, a revolutionary physicist discovers a new way to think about the world. Escorting the reader through the classical, medieval, Renaissance and modern eras, Shlain shows how the artists’ images when superimposed on the physicists’ concepts create a compelling fit (Shlain, 2012). is an excerpt
  • Leonard generously shares a number of chapters freely so why not dip into Chapter 19 and find out more about his views on the relationship between Music, Art and Physics.
