The M.A.M. On Minus 4th Street

____________________________________________________________________________________

ART IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS
is written in rainbowed script above the main entrance to the MAM

In the Common Denominator room of the MathArt Museum,
a small plaque introduced two paintings:
1939 - 1551 = 338

Museum curator Ann Rilevo explained:
"Three hundred thirty eight years transpired
between this Aersten painting and the Dali dreamscape.
We did the math for you...Let your imagination do the rest."

1939

Salvador Dali
Daddy Longlegs of the Evening - Hope

1551

Pieter Aersten
The Meat Stall

As they often say at the Lewis Carroll School of Logic:
IMAGINATION = (STIMULUS) + (CREATIVE RESPONSE)

Thank you, MAM!
