Mathematical Models and Art

The charming shapes of mathematical models have inspired and influenced, in many ways, contemporary art. We want to give you some examples by presenting to you an itinerary that will not be exhaustive (nor is it meant to be).
We shall show how some mathematical models had an impact on the work of some of the most famous contemporary artists, among them Man Ray.
We shall close our itinerary with a design item that has been inspired by a famous mathematical formula.
