By contrast, Mondrian's later painting, Blooming Apple Tree, which sets aside scaling in branch diameter, is not recognizable as a tree. According to the authors, art and science provide ...

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.

Researchers analyzed tree art across cultures, finding consistent branch scaling values matching those in nature. A University of New Mexico mathematical biologist says these patterns may help ...
