Researchers now have a better understanding of how such dendritic art is formed. But why would the ink form fractal shapes and not slowly diffuse into the paint below? The researchers also found ...

Collaborating with psychologists and neuroscientists, we measured people’s responses to fractals found in nature (using photos of natural scenes), art (Pollock’s paintings) and mathematics ...

The cherry blossom painting by Goshun is clearly a (part of a) tree despite a less natural branch diameter scaling exponent. But by looking at fractals in art and trees, the researchers hoped to ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent ... an 18th century painting called “Cherry Blossoms” by Japanese artist Matsumura Goshun ...

In the first, an artist can achieve the most refined fractals if the thickness of the paint layer is less than half a millimeter. In the second, using three parts diluting medium and one part ...
