The face, beauty, and symmetry: perceiving asymmetry in beautiful faces.
The relationship between bilateral facial symmetry and beauty remains to be clarified. Here, straight head-on photographs of "beautiful" faces from the collections of professional modeling agencies were selected. First, beauty ratings were obtained for these faces. Then, the authors created symmetrical left-left and right-right composites of the beautiful faces and asked a new group of subjects...
متن کاملAsymmetry and Symmetry in the Beauty of Human Faces
The emphasis in the published literature has mostly been on symmetry as the critical source for beauty judgment. In fact, both symmetry and asymmetry serve as highly aesthetic sources of beauty, whether the context is perceptual or conceptual. The human brain is characterized by symbolic cognition and this type of cognition facilitates a range of aesthetic reactions. For example, both art and n...
متن کاملAsymmetry, Symmetry and Beauty
Asymmetry and symmetry coexist in natural and human processes. The vital role of symmetry in art has been well demonstrated. This article highlights the complementary role of asymmetry. Further we show that the interaction of asymmetric action (recursion) and symmetric opposition (sinusoidal waves) are instrumental in generating creative features (relatively low entropy, temporal complexity, no...
متن کاملAppearance of symmetry, beauty, and health in human faces.
Symmetry is an important concept in biology, being related to mate selection strategies, health, and survival of species. In human faces, the relevance of left-right symmetry to attractiveness and health is not well understood. We compared the appearance of facial attractiveness, health, and symmetry in three separate experiments. Participants inspected front views of faces on the computer scre...
متن کاملOn the mathematics of beauty: beautiful music
In this paper, we will study the simplest kind of beauty that can be found in a simple piece of music and can be appreciated universally. The proposed model suggest that there is a link between beautiful music and the Dyson distribution which seems to be the result of a deeper optimisation process between randomness and regularity. Then we show that beautiful music need to satisfy a more fundam...
