Rena Littleson Drawings. The best Intervention episodes are always the really odd ones. Meth addictions are a dime a dozen, but M&M addictions are something to talk about! Artist Rena Littleson-Montenegro appears to be drawing the usual photorealistic, tortured souls, but by pairing her subjects with bottles of ginger ale and blood thirsty toy dinos she gives the concept a refreshing and playful spin. And the extreme foreshortening really lends these binges that the-first-step-is-admitting-you-have-a-problem sense of urgency. drawings by rena littleson.
The Future of Science…Is Art? In the early 1920s, Niels Bohr was struggling to reimagine the structure of matter. Previous generations of physicists had thought the inner space of an atom looked like a miniature solar system with the atomic nucleus as the sun and the whirring electrons as planets in orbit.
This was the classical model. But Bohr had spent time analyzing the radiation emitted by electrons, and he realized that science needed a new metaphor. The behavior of electrons seemed to defy every conventional explanation. As Bohr said, “When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.” Bohr had long been fascinated by cubist paintings. Black Peacock, 1950 ALEXANDER CALDER This mobile is a powerful example of how an art form can be tailored to the physiology of a specific area in the brain.
Bohr’s discerning conviction was that the invisible world of the electron was essentially a cubist world. It’s hard to believe that a work of abstract art might have actually affected the history of science. By Paolo Troilo (Italy) Photos du journal - Leonardo da Vinci.
