'WHAT TO READ IN 2025' FINANCIAL TIMESMany artists are unaware of
the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some
consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us
that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in
common, but what if we're wrong? Marcus du Sautoy, acclaimed
mathematician and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of
Science at the University of Oxford, looks to art, music, design
and literature to uncover the key mathematical structures that
underpin both human creativity and the natural world.Blueprints
takes us from the earliest stone circles to the modernist
architecture of Le Corbusier, from Bach's circular compositions to
Radiohead's disruptive soundscapes, and from Shakespeare's hidden
numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness.
Instead of polar opposites we find a complementary relationship
that spans a vast historical and geographic landscape.Whether we
are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or deciphering
poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry,
fractals and the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and
hyperbolic geometry.Nature similarly exploits these structures to
achieve the wonders of our universe.In this innovative and
delightfully bold exploration of creativity, Marcus explains how we
make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new
mathematics and how a fundamental connection to the natural world
intrinsically links these two subjects.'Blueprints is an
extraordinary book which shows us how mathematics and art are
connected through structures. Du Sautoy shows us how to bridge the
divide of science and the humanities and proves that we can only
face and solve the big challenges of the twenty-first century if we
go beyond the fear of pooling knowledge' Hans Ulrich Obrist,
Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries
