Math, Art And Christmas

.
Beernar Venet's Arcs For Christmas

Another shot of the Christmas decorations in Citygarden. This is Bernar Venet's 2 Arcs x 4, 230.5 Degree Arc x 5. The smooth bronze arcs are just about math. Venet is not a mathematician but observes that Cezanne was not a botanist yet he painted flowers and trees. This is very intellectual stuff. I don't think the artist would like the Christmas lights. They mess with the purity.

I"m pretty sure that M. Venet would hate those lights as well B. Whose idea was that???

Like garlic makes most things taste better, lights add extra spice to just about anything. Including cerebral art. Guess I'm a pilistine.
