The associations of arts — especially plastic
arts — with geometry are manifold. The painterly perspective (also addressed in
the lecture) is not the first instance of using geometry in art. But the mutual
interpenetrations of geometry and art work the other way around as well. Faced
with the proposition whose proof is lengthy and difficult, namely “There are
exactly 17 non-isomorphic groups in two-dimensional crystallography” some
artists could say: “Thank you for the information, we already have them.” They
could say it, had they not been dead for a really long time.
The lecture will be interpreted into Polish sign language.
