Fractals in Pollock’s painting
Fractals are a form of geometric
repetition, in which successively smaller
copies of a pattern are nested inside
each other, so that the same intricate
shapes appear repeatedly.
Taylor divided the works into squares of
various sizes, ranging from 1cm to
almost 5m, which showed that actually
the geometric pattern repeats.
Moreover, while measuring the fractal
dimension of the works, Taylor noted
that the more Pollock worked on this
technique, the greater were the values.

The Vitruvian
Man

5.

In this sketch, which is one of the most
celebrated works by da Vinci, the artist
used mathematics to elaborate the ideal
proportions of the human body.
According to the calculations, the
measure of the length of the open arms
of a man is equal to his height, for
example.
Leonardo carefully drew the man,
known to us as Vitruvian Man, and
placed him within two well-known
geometric shapes, a circle and a square,
a composition that is noteworthy,
considering the structure of the
drawing.
