How science changed the way artists understand reality
Exploring the Invisible shows how modern art expresses the first secular, scientific worldview in human history. Now fully revised and expanded, this richly illustrated book describes two hundred years of scientific discoveries that inspired French Impressionist painters and Art Nouveau architects, as well as Surrealists in Europe, Latin America, and Japan. Lynn Gamwell describes how the microscope and telescope expanded the artist's vision into realms unseen by the naked eye. In the nineteenth century, a strange and exciting world came into focus, one of microorganisms in a drop of water and spiral nebulas in the night sky. The world is also filled with forces that are truly unobservable, known only indirectly by their effects--radio waves, X-rays, and sound-waves. Gamwell shows how artists developed the pivotal style of modernism--abstract, non-objective art--to symbolize these unseen worlds. Starting in Germany with Romanticism and ending with international contemporary art, she traces the development of the visual arts as an expression of the scientific worldview in which humankind is part of a natural web of dynamic forces without predetermined purpose or meaning. Gamwell reveals how artists give nature meaning by portraying it as mysterious, dangerous, or beautiful. With a foreword by Neil deGrasse Tyson and a wealth of stunning images, this expanded edition of Exploring the Invisible draws on the latest scholarship to provide a global perspective on the scientists and artists who explore life on Earth, human consciousness, and the space-time universe.Binding Type: Hardcover

My dogs are heavy chewers
These are very hard and indestructible. The only thing, im afraid my pups will break their teeth. They are houses on a hard wood floor.

My couch is safe!
Perfect for my lab mix, and my pointer mix was jealous so I immediately bought a second after they both wanted it. Keeps them both busy for well over 30 minutes.

Great treat holder!
Our new favorite!! We’d been long time long users but this will forever replace them. Sturdy, easy to clean, convenient cups, multiple fun treat compartments. They are also bright enough to find in the yard if one “runs” out the house. And they are easy for the kids to hold. Must have for a Pitt bull family

She loves it
Color: Octopus
My dog loves this. I mixed plain yogurt and blueberries and froze the two cups. She went to town and it kept her busy for about 15 min. It’s easy to open compared to some of the other toys like this. Easy to clean too.
