geometry

Drawing is the cornerstone of art but geometry is equally important. The reason modern art is empty and lifeless is because it has no geometric backbone. It has no universal math, no harmonics. It is slapdash and slipshod. The universal architect has intelligence, it creates itself in gnomic spirals of mathematical genius. Man is made from the same stuff as the stars and the trees and the pine cone. Artists have lost touch with the geometric, the golden proportions of our past. Even our DNA is a gnomic spiral!...Change at all costs? slash and burn the sacred forest of the past? modernism at all costs? we are throwing out the better part of ourselves and our creativity if we ignore geometry. Do accountants ignore numbers because we have used numbers in the past? I am still trying to figure out Raphael's geometry in the School of Athens. Above is one such study of mine.
