6. Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibit: Picturing Math: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints

Picturing Math at the Met Museum Untapped Cities AFineLyne-NYC

The visualization of mathematics has taken many forms since the advent of printing. Animated by tensions between the abstract and the figural, the geometric and the gestural, these works in Picturing Math: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection show how artists from the 15th century to contemporary times have engaged in the creation and communication of mathematical knowledge through the use and production of images.
