Mathematical Art
Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art mathematical beauty, motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as Music and mathematics, music, dance, painting, Mathematics and architecture, architecture, sculpture, and Mathematics and fiber arts, textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts. Mathematics and art have a long historical relationship. List of mathematical artists, Artists have used mathematics since the 4th century BC when the Greek sculpture, sculptor Polykleitos wrote Polykleitos#Canon of Polykleitos, his ''Canon'', prescribing proportions Polykleitos#Conjectured reconstruction, conjectured to have been based on the ratio 1: for the ideal male nude. Persistent popular claims have been made for the use of the golden ratio in ancient art and architecture, without reliable evidence. In the Italian Renaissance, Luca Pacioli wrote the influential treatise ''De div ...

List Of Mathematical Artists
This is a list of artists who actively explored mathematics in their artworks. Art forms practised by these artists include painting, sculpture, architecture, textiles and origami. Some artists such as Piero della Francesca and Luca Pacioli went so far as to write books on mathematics in art. Della Francesca wrote books on solid geometry and the emerging field of perspective, including ''De Prospectiva Pingendi (On Perspective for Painting)'', ''Trattato d’Abaco (Abacus Treatise)'', and ''De corporibus regularibus (Regular Solids)'', while Pacioli wrote ''De divina proportione (On Divine Proportion)'', with illustrations by Leonardo da Vinci, at the end of the fifteenth century. Merely making accepted use of some aspect of mathematics such as perspective does not qualify an artist for admission to this list. The term "fine art" is used conventionally to cover the output of artists who produce a combination of paintings, drawings and sculptures. List Referenc ...
