Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules ...

However, in Mondrian’s 1912 “Bloeiende Appelboom” (“Blooming Apple Tree”), a painting in the same series, the branch diameter scaling is gone, Newberry said, with a value of 5.4 ...

A long scroll of tiny thumbnail images showing the changes in Mondrian’s painting style over time. The sequence begins with depictions of trees and human forms, then moves into abstractions and ...

Without realistic scaling, would this painting even be a tree? As if to prove the point, Mondrian made a subsequent painting the following year, also with a gray background, curved lines and the ...

Even abstract paintings such as Piet Mondrian's 1912 cubist Gray Tree, which doesn’t visually show treelike colours, can be identified as trees if a realistic value for α is used, researchers say.

Trees depicted in the artwork of famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci and Piet Mondrian follow the math behind their branching pattern in nature, a new study says. At such a critical moment in US ...
