The artist, through his gifts and his sensitivity, has always used the technical means of his time to share his reactions to the most varied manifestations and creations of his environment and his own imagination. In our modern world, computers and mathematics constantly bring about completely new elements; every day, they enrich the panoply of tools that the artist can deploy.

This book makes known, both to the public in the broad sense and to the most devoted animators of cultural life, the immense artistic qualities and intellectual values of the works newly created under the impetus of the progression of our mathematical knowledge.

Claude P. Bruter, a mathematician by training, has carried out academic work in various fields, including science, and has served as a member of various boards. At the end of his career, he was Professor of Mathematics at Université Paris 12, France, and the founder and President of the European Society for Mathematics and the Arts. He has published over 200 articles and a dozen books, including Topologie et Perception (three volumes), Sur la Nature des Mathématiques, Comprendre les Mathématiques, La Construction des Nombres, Les Architectures du Feu, and The Principle of Stability within the Pantheon of Mother Ideas. He has also edited several books, including four on mathematics and art.
