Most works of art, whether illustrative, musical or literary, are
created subject to a set of constraints. In many (but not all)
cases, these constraints have a mathematical nature, for example,
the geometric transformations governing the canons of J. S. Bach,
the various projection systems used in classical painting, the
catalog of symmetries found in Islamic art, or the rules concerning
poetic structure. This fascinating book describes geometric
frameworks underlying this constraint-based creation. The author
provides both a development in geometry and a description of how
these frameworks fit the creative process within several art
practices. He furthermore discusses the perceptual effects derived
from the presence of particular geometric characteristics. The book
began life as a liberal arts course and it is certainly suitable as
a textbook. However, anyone interested in the power and ubiquity of
mathematics will enjoy this revealing insight into the relationship
between mathematics and the arts.
