You can thank Benoit Mandelbrot for introducing us in 1975 to fractals.
A fractal is a geometric shape that has self similarity-when fragmented, smaller sections mimic the whole.
Peter Max saw what was coming in the future?
Fine artists have used math for centuries to develop pleasing compositions...beauty....to the eye. This symmetry is based on the Fibonacci numbers.
The golden ratio is seen over and over in nature. Fractals occur in nature as well...a basic shape occurring over and over in a plant making a pleasing pattern.
Symmetry through math in nature produces beauty to the human eye.
The fibonacci series can be used to produce arcs and curves perfectly proportioned.
Thank you Jans Berghuis for making me think!
