Summary: "The Art of Science explores the work of forty artists and artist-scientists whose work has furthered and made visible the relationship between these fields of creativity and discovery. Lavishly illustrated, the book authoritatively explores the age-old affinity between two disciplines whose commonalities are greater than their differences. Since the earliest days of humanity, the urge to create has been intertwined with the desire for knowledge, experimentation and the collection of information. The line between artist and scientist is often so blurred as to become imperceptible, often with artists contributing vital visualizations that enable the progression of scientific discovery - and scientists providing raw data and the opportunity for observation to artists hungry for invention. From botany and natural history to neurology and optics, no field of science has gone unexplored by artists. The Art of Science provides a illuminating insight into this most fruitful of relationships between two vital disciplines"--Publisher's description.
