" E verything was spotless white, like a laboratory. In a light smock, with his clean-shaven face, taciturn, wearing heavy glasses, Mondrian seemed more a scientist or priest than an artist. The only relief to all the white were large matboards, rectangles in yellow, red and blue, hung in asymmetric arrangements on all the walls " (1). This description of Piet Mondrian's New York studio sheds l...

Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie (1942–1943) was examined using Macro X-Ray Fluorescence mapping (MA-XRF) to help characterize the artist’s materials and understand his creative process as well as the current condition issues of the painting. The presence and distribution of key chemical elements was used to identify the main pigments in the different paint layers and under-layers, namely...

Grâce a ce recueil, les lecteurs de Louis Marin auront desormais acces aux nombreux articles ecrits par le philosophe sur l’art son siecle. Publies entre 1969 et 1998, ces textes traitent la creation en peinture (Paul Klee, Paul Cezanne, Jackson Pollock, Willem Kooning, Jasper Johns, Jean-Francois Lacalmontie), litterature (Thomas More, Jorge Luis Borges), architecture (Walt Disney, Iannis Xena...

The inspiration behind my image was the work of Jackson Pollock. Acknowledging that the use of random tool was mandatory in s assessment, I hose to create an image that randomly places circles and ellipses as if they were splattered on by a brush. Looking at Pollock’s work, his splattered paint begins large and ends in finer slats. Further digital elements such as opacity and a stimulated backg...

Resistance of Staphylococcus aureu8 to benzylpenicillin in clinical practice is usually caused by the production by the bacteria of an inducible penicillinase (EC 3.5.2.6) (Barber, 1962). The penicillinase of induced exponentially growing cultures of S. aureu8 is partitioned between the cells and the culture medium, the exact distribution varying from strain to strain and depending on the growt...

The art world changed forever when Jackson Pollock picked up a can and poured paint onto a vast canvas rolled across the floor of his windswept barn. Fifty years on, art theorists recognize his patterns as being a revolutionary approach to aesthetics. A significant step forward in understanding Pollock’s aesthetics occurred in 1999 when my scientific analysis showed that his paintings are fract...

OBJECTIVE To compare three different body fats estimation equations using skin fold measurements with bioelectrical impedance analysis.

In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff’s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, the concepts of order and complexity in an image (in our case, a painting) are analyzed in the light of Shannon entropy and Kolmogorov complexity. We also present a new vision...
