The Pathway Between Art and Science: One Painter's Metaphorical Journey

The author describes his un-derstanding of the place and pur-pose of his art in the context of our late twentieth century: as an artist, he does not accept a place in the current “death of art” situa-tion. He agrees that abstract art is not self-explanatory although its meaning exists in the collective unconscious. To explain his effort, he has found metaphors in quan-tum physics that enable him to link his artistic process to the dy-namics of progress found in sci-ence rather than to those of re-gression found in the arts.
