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.

Great Bang for Your Buck
I didn’t know what to expect with these toys. How small are they, the quality, especially since they’re actually $1.33 each. I am so excited about these toys for my Havanese puppy! They’re a perfect size for him and they’re well sewn and cutely decorated. They’re stuffed and have a squeaker. He’s had one exactly like these for 2 months and he loves it and hasn’t torn it apart. When I saw the box delivered today I thought oh no these are so tiny. Until opened it and kept pulling perfect sized toys and a storage bag! These are just carefully and mindfully packed to fit in that box!

MY 6 LB PUP'S FAVORITES!
xcdOmg these are my 1 year old dog's favorite toys! He loves each one and they are just the right size for him to carry and squeak in his mouth. Currently the donut & pepper are his favorites. He even sleeps with them. Thank you for making good quality toys for our little guys and keeping them affordable.

cute, one toy came broken
Super cute toys my dog loves small squeaky toys like these, one of the toys sadly came broken as it doesn’t squeak but can’t complain too much since you get a couple of them for a good price.
