Art & Science

Problem: connected or opposed? C.P. Snow, The Two Cultures (1959) Lecture: 1.Origins ideas about connection/opposition 2.Actual relations Art/Science 3.Our perspective as students of science

1. History terms art and science Middle Ages: Art as science: e.g. medieval universities: seven liberal arts Art als skill: e.g. mechanical arts

1. History terms art and science Renaissance: Artist-engineers: Albrecht Dürer Giambattista della Porta Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

1. History terms art and science Early modern period (17 th century): still merged in thesis Svetlana Alpers criticism Alpers vanitas in science

1. History terms art and science Early modern period (17 th century): still merged in thesis Svetlana Alpers criticism Alpers vanitas in science

1. History terms art and science Romanticism (late 18 th - 19 th century) Origins opposition Art vs. Science: –Science destroys beauty, meaning, value –Art displays beauty, meaning, value

Thomas Campbell, To the Rainbow (1820): When Science from Creation s face Enchantment s veil withdraws, What lovely visions yield their place To cold material laws! 1. History terms art and science

Romanticism (late 18 th - 19 th century) Raymond Williams, Culture and Society (1958) –terms (industry, culture, etc.) change meaning –art becomes fine art

1. History terms art and science Modernism (20 th century) anti-romantic avant-garde artists embrace science: –Italian futurists –Russian constructivists

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Futuristist Manifesto (1909): We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.

1. History terms art and science 20 th century to our time: Modernism + Romantic opposition see e.g. C.P. Snow, The Two Cultures (1959)
