Golden Symmetry

the art world has felt the influence of the golden ratio for centuries also known as the golden section or the divine Ratio to construct masterpieces .the golden number block has met the geometric underpinnings of select paintings the a software which can be seen below in the 19th century artist shore sir on Edward Burne-Jones organized their compositions with the help of geometry surap post impressionist painting bathers and Asnieres 1884 can be broken down in the 1st set tangles delimiting the 4 angle and backgrounds for example and the Ark. Of Burne-Jones is staircases the focal point of the golden stairs 1876 to 1880 around which the other elements are arranged though modernism dress away from a strict use of the golden ratio geometry figures heavily in many movements at this time clean lines and shapes in primary colors populate paintings  with yellow blue and red simple spare lines and forms relies heavily on the simplicity of geometry with angles and blocks of color last but not least elements within a piece of art can be placed in the most esthetically pleasing way however it is not merely a term it is an actual ratio in a can be found at many pieces of art golden ratio but golden ratio has many other names you might hear it referred to as the golden section golden proportion golden mean by ratio sacred cut or divine proportion they all mean the same thing  the golden ratio is one by this is not pi as in pi or 3.14 and his day O this is fire and is pronounced by RI as represented by the lowercase Greek letter phi it's the merica Quinlan is 1.618 which means its decimal stretches to infinity and never repeats much like pie the davinci code added wrong when the protagonist assigned an exact value of 1.618 to 5 by also performs amazing feats of derring-do in trigonometry and quadratic equations it can even be used to write a recur sive algorithm when programming software but let's get back to esthetics what the golden ratio looks like the easiest way to picture the golden ratio is by looking at a rectangle with a width of 1 and a length of 1.168 if you were to draw A-line in this plains of that 1² and 1 rectangle resulted the square sides would have a ratio of 1 to 1 in the left over rectangle it would be exactly proportionate to the original rectangle 1 to 1.618 on line in the smaller rectangle again leaving a 1 to 1² and a 1 to 1.618 rectangle you can keep doing this until you're left with an indecipherable blood the ratio continues on a downward pattern regardless beyond the square and rectangle rectangles and squares are the clearest examples but the golden ratio can be applied to any number of geometric forms including circles triangles pyramids prisms and poly guns it's just a question of applying the correct that some artists are very good at this while others are not the golden ratio in art millennia ago and I know genius figured out that what would become known as the golden ratio was extraordinarily pleasing to the eye that is as long as the ratio of smaller elements to larger elements is maintained to back this up there is now have scientific evidence that our brains are indeed hard wired to recognize the shatter it worked when the Egyptians built their pyramids it has worked in sacred geometry throughout history and it continues to work today while working for this forces in Milan raluca Bartolomeo DE pache 06 cents to 1517 said like God the divine proportion is always similar to itself it was patchy Ollie who taught Florentine artist rhian Argo davinci how to mathematically calculate proportions the Vinci's the last supper is often given as 1 of the best examples of the golden ratio in art other works where you will notice this pattern include Michelangelo's the creation of Adam in the Sistine chapel many of shore surround paintings particularly the placement of the horizon line .the golden ratio and facial beauty there is also a theory that it can paint a portrait using the golden ratio it is much more pleasing . a final thought the golden ratio remains a great topic of conversation whether in art or in defining beauty there is indeed something pleasing about a certain proportion between elements The proportion between elements even when a person doesn't or can't recognize it here she is attracted to with art some artists will carefully composed their work following this rule others do not pay it any attention at all but somehow pull it off without noticing it maybe that is due to their own inclination toward the golden ratio at any rate it certainly is something to think about and gives everyone one more reason to analyze art
