We admire human creation second - The Beatles and Bob Dylan, heroes from the sixties whose music and lyrics changed a whole generation. In the twenties Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee were among the artists who changed our conception of art.

We all have an intuitive feel for complexity. An oil painting by Picasso is obviously more complex than the random finger-paint doodles of a three-year-old. The works of Shakespeare are more complex than the rambling prose banged out on a typewriter by the proverbial band of monkeys. Our intuition tells us that complexity is usually greatest in systems whose components are arranged in some intricate difficult-to-understand pattern or, in the case of a dynamical system, when the outcome of some process is difficult to predict from its initial state.

Although all art is inherently public—created in order to convey an idea or emotion to others— public art, as opposed to art that is (20) sequestered in museums and galleries, is art specifically designed for a public arena where the art will be encountered by people in their normal day-to-day activities. Public art can be purely ornamental or highly functional it can be as subtle as a decorative door knob or as conspicuous as the Chicago Picasso. It is also an essential element of (25) effective urban design. 

The picture I remember is Guernica, it is by Picasso. It is not reelist. That means the shapes don t look real but you know what they are in real life. It is in black and white. It is not in color like most pictures. But it really gets to you. It shows people getting killed or who are already killed. The images make it so you won t forget it.

Whatever their aesthetic differences, alien math and science might be similar to ours, because the same kinds of mathematical truths will be discovered by any intelligent aliens. But it s not clear that our art would be considered beautiful or profound to aliens. After all, we have a difficult time ourselves determining what good art is. Picasso said, Art is the lie that reveals the truth. Brain researcher Vilayanur S. Ramachandran described art as, That which allows us to transcend our morality by giving us a foretaste of eternity. ... 

Researchers at Texas A M University discovered that mood, blood pressure, and surgery recovery time can be influenced by art — but not just any kind of art. Patients who had Picasso reproductions in their rooms fared worse than those with blank walls, while some of those who gazed at Monet s water lilies recovered more quickly. I think Hans Selye must have loved beautiful paintings, too. After all, he was himself an artist of sorts. He carved part of the cortisol molecule into the cement outside his window when he was living on Milton Street near McGill. It s still there — a silent testimonial to the man my parents dragged me to see on that stressful day so long ago.
