Twenty-two original plates inspired by M Bongard's pattern recognition research. The book is complemented with relevant technical references and a short animation. Jean Constant included the original pattern outlines with the artwork, giving an additional appreciation for the final composition. Both black and white color plates are striking works of art and provide sound scientific information for all those research patterns or enjoy abstract composition based on a solid scientific background.
Jean Constant is an artist and researcher in Visual Communication.
His interest in Science and Art led him to conduct extensive research in Mathematics, Science, and Art that he uses in the classroom and shares in lectures and exhibits in the US and around the world.
He publishes his research in numerous academic and professional journals and is the author of the ongoing Mathematics and Art series.
Many scientific fields study patterns because they relate to perception. The visual arts essentially depend on perception both from the creator's perspective and the viewer's recognition of the image. M. Bongard pattern recognition diagrams are a gratifying source of inspiration for art and visual composition. Including the original Bongard outline sketches next to the twenty-two original artworks inspired by it is a welcome invitation for the viewer to explore under that light the multiple facets of creativity and the art-making process.
