How artists and scientists see tree branches similarly
Yet only “Gray Tree” has scale-invariant branch diameters. When Mondrian removes the scale invariance in “Blooming Apple Tree ...
Scientists uncover hidden maths depicted in da Vinci and Mondrian artwork
Trees depicted in the artwork of famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci and Piet Mondrian follow the math behind their ...
Scientists analyze branch patterns in trees and art, from da Vinci to Mondrian
The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in nature also holds for trees depicted in art—and may even underlie our ability to recognize artworks as depictions of trees.

Fractals: Art Imitates Life in Tree Perception
"We've come up with something universal here that kind of applies to all trees in art and in nature," said Newberry, senior author of the study. "It's at the core of a lot of different depictions of ...
Art and science illuminate the same subtle proportions in tree branches
The scale invariance in branch diameter dictates how much smaller a limb should be as it branches and how much investment a tree makes in a few thick branches versus many thin ones. Trees have evolved ...
