Cubism


 In Two Figures (1913-14), Liubov' Popova beautifully demonstrates the artistic possibilities of a Cubist reconstruction and, at the same time, her talent to transcend simple imitation.  http://myweb.rollins.edu/aboguslawski/Ruspaint/cubism.html




Sometimes students are incapable of seeing the art in mathematics.  Thus, I intend to display the mathematics in art.  There are two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes in this painting.  Finding out how many and their dimensions might be a challenging group project.
