The math Newberry and his student Jingyi Gao ... tree despite a less natural branch diameter scaling exponent. But by looking at fractals in art and trees, the researchers hoped to start a discussion.

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as trees, ...

This hidden math in some abstract paintings may ... “We analyse trees in artwork as self-similar, fractal forms, and empirically compare art with theories of branch thickness developed in ...
