A stunning portrait of our vast, dynamic, and mysterious universe . . . as seen through the lenses of astronomy and art
What is our place in the universe? Where do art and science overlap? How can we use these disciplines to better understand the universe . . . and how do they help us to shape our reality? In Painting the Cosmos, astrophysicist and visual artist Nia Imara combines these perspectives to comprehensively illustrate the history of the universe and our position in it.
In this eye-opening and accessible book, Imara asks pivotal questions and explores humanity's ever-evolving view of nature. Richly illustrated with spectacular full-color images of our universe and beautiful work from creators around the world-particularly the often-neglected work of women and Black artists-this one-of-a-kind book unites the realms of art, science, and culture to create a dynamic portrait of the cosmos.
From the Big Bang to life on other planets-while also explaining the most exciting recent developments in astronomy-with Imara's guiding expertise, readers will explore:
The limits of objectivity in understanding realityThe role of harmony and rhythm in the universe and artHow light functions as a storytellerHow scientists and artists help us "see" the invisible-from black holes to marginalized experiencesThe possibility of life beyond our solar system, and how we define intelligence
Painting the Cosmos will captivate and inspire you to see the world around you in a brand new, fascinating light where space and art are beautifully intertwined.
