visual grammar

The mathematician Kiyoshi Oka stated that emotion lies at the core of the human heart; the essence of art is the perception—prior to intellectual knowledge—of the integral nature inherent in visible forms. Lately, I have come across numerous videos online featuring Hokusai’s "The Great Wave," yet they are accompanied only by personal impressions or explanatory notes; not a single one qualifies as an art-historical analysis. All of this content can be summarized by AI. Our understanding of the mental activity known as art lags the furthest behind. The reason for this state of affairs is clear. Since the work is created for a practical purpose, the first thing that catches the eye is its function as a sign. We must look beyond the habitual way of viewing it merely as a sign; instead, we must perceive its form to truly grasp the essence of art.   It is the form that holds the artistic quality. Those involved in the arts—including the commercial art world, the a...

  The field of mathematics deals with numbers and logic. Where does this a priori capacity come from? It relies on the ability to perceive the integral properties of shapes. This implies that a visual grammar is formed first, and that both the plastic arts and mathematics depend upon it.   While Cézanne’s use of visual grammar was likely a priori, to what extent did Seurat—who had undergone academic training—employ techniques derived from his education? Seurat "Bathers "and the study circle-cross model Here is a table showing the degree of stylization. The model has reached version 6. It features a structure in which intersections are arranged along a (line)circle.   As for studies of the “model,” the work has reached the stage of the eighth stage. While Seurat is acclaimed as the inventor of Pointillism, as a visual artist he employs techniques comparable to those of Cézanne. You keep the works you love close at hand, wanting to view them again and again. Enthusiasts...

  In the digital age, works of art are digital images. You cannot understand the art simply by viewing the actual *Girl with a Pearl Earring* , which is currently shown in Japan very popularly, a few times. It is just like music, where repeatedly experiencing recorded performances is essential. Art education is ineffective; instead of teaching how to draw, we should teach how to see. One must first become an art lover. In the age of AI, mastering technical skills has become meaningless. Commercial exhibitions at art museums have failed to keep pace with the digital age; digital images should be made accessible to everyone online. This work, housed at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, can now be viewed online. Seurat "Model" Although some contours are not clear, all the outlines must have been drawn geometrically.  

  Humans can perceive the integer properties of shapes.  In other words, they can count them.  This perceptual ability is the foundation of all cognitive abilities.  All shapes are networks.  The smallest unit of a network model is a line segment.  Since the number of line segments meeting at a single point can be counted,  let's try creating a dot-string model.

 The Mona Lisa, with its strong contrasts of light and shadow and unclear details, and Pollock's paintings, which followed abstract art make it difficult to discern which parts contribute to their artistic effect. Putting together everything I've written online so far reveals the rough picture of art science. ① To create a proper theory of art, we should use terminology with clear meaning. ② The most ambiguous word is "art." ③ A single work being applied art can usually be viewed from four layers, and thus divided into four types: code, symbol, idol, and form. ④ The first three are ways of looking at signs. ⑤ Since "form" includes not only shape but also color, shading, etc., I will use "shape" instead to make visual arts the art of form. ⑥ Man tries to see an object simplifying the properties of shape to an integer level. ⑦ All shapes can be logically classified on this level ⑧ The structure of individual work makes interest...
