Art interprets the visible world, physics charts its unseen workings - making these two realms seem in complete opposition. But in Art & Physics, Leonard Shlain tracks their development side by side throughout the centuries to reveal an astonishing correlation of visions. From the classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists have often foreshadowed the theories and discoveries of scientists. In this lively and colorful narrative, Leonard Shlain explores how major artistic breakthroughs have prefigured the visionary insights of physicists 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.
