A Biological Basis for the Golden Section in Art and Design
The author demonstrates how studies from the behavioral sciences have been applied in design from the nineteenth century up to present-day design theory and practice. The Golden Section as a system of proportions in art and design has the potential to relate design decisions to a human scale. The system of dynamic symmetry as an approach to design developed by Jay Hambidge in the early 1920s had a strong influence on industrial design as well as …
The Use of Computers in the Arts
The artist describes his use of the microcomputer to explore the nature of images he has created in the visual arts. He explains how he used a new IBM authoring language called HANDY to create a wide variety of images that later became a basis for drawings in colored pencils and black-and white lithographs. This article is an attempt to show how he has incorporated a new technology into an ongoing body of work and in what ways this has altered th…

A Review of the Use of Symmetry, the Golden Section and Dynamic Symmetry in Contemporary Art
The author reviews recent literature on the Golden Section and dynamic symmetry in contemporary art. Within this context, he explores the history and continuing relationship between art and science in twentieth-century art and design. He focuses on the influence of design theorist Jay Hambidge’s theory of dynamic symmetry on three generations of artists by reviewing the work of selected American artists from 1920 to the present. The influence of …
