Exploring the Invisible

by Lynn Gamwell

"Exploring the Invisible reveals that the world beyond the naked eye - made visible by advances in science - has been a major inspiration for artists ever since, influencing the subjects they choose as well as their techniques and modes of representation.". "Throughout this book are images from both science and art - some well known, others rare - that reveal the scientific sources mined by Impressionist and Symbolist painters, Art Nouveau sculptors and architects, Cubists, and other nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists."--BOOK JACKET.
