Reply To: Perfect Proportion

[Bob Hook]

Miranda, thanks for another great post. You have us all thinking about the Fibonacci sequence and anatomy. I think that we view art from how we view nature. The symmetry and the influence of the Fibonacci series are always present in nature. This continual immersion in these objects from nature has both a conscious and unconscious effect. I think that this is the reason why art appears to accurately reflect the subject matter or it fails. The brain and eye are all attuned to what is correct. If the proportions appear off then the brain says it is not authentic, it is a flawed representation.
