Man Ray: Secret Formulas & Shakespearean Equations - STEM-ART link
Shakespeare and higher mathematics meet in Man Ray’s late, great series of paintings, “Shakespearean Equations.”
Starting with the 19th-century mathematical models, proceeding to the photographs by Man Ray of those models, through to the book publication of those photographs in Surrealist context, then the paintings, and finally to black-and-white photographs of the paintings that Man Ray made at the time of the Copley show, we see the full cycle of transformation of the image and the object.
Reminds me somewhat of de Chirico. The above quote outlines a direct link between the mathematical models constructed by turn of the century mathematicians, stored at the Poincare Institute in Paris, and Man Ray's paintings.
Developments in non-Euclidean geometry, space-time and quantum mechanics stimulated science, philosophy and art.

Thanks a lot @steemstem. My plan is to do more of these short links to build up a kind of catalogue of what is out there, then do some longer articles when I have the time :-)
