EINSTEIN, PICASSO

內容簡介

內容簡介 "Miller is an excellent historian...and a fine biographer.... [His] artful arrangement of his conclusions...makes the book something of an intellectual thriller."-New York Times Book Review. The most important scientist of the twentieth century and the most important artist had their periods of greatest creativity almost simultaneously and in remarkably similar circumstances. This fascinating parallel biography of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso as young men examines their greatest creations-Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Einstein's special theory of relativity. Miller shows how these breakthroughs arose not only from within their respective fields but from larger currents in the intellectual culture of the times. Ultimately, Miller shows how Einstein and Picasso, in a deep and important sense, were both working on the same problem.

各界推薦

各界推薦 本書是二十世紀最偉大的科學家愛因斯坦和最重要的藝術家畢卡索的平行傳記，敘述了兩人石破天驚的創造歷程。 「相對論」和〈小姐〉是愛因斯坦和畢卡索反應這個大時代的代表作，書中超過八十幅圖片和照片對愛因斯坦「相對論」和畢卡索「立體主義」的創造性發現有清楚圖解，讓讀者得以了解兩人的理論思想，是唯一把愛因斯坦和畢卡索兩大當代巨人平行比較的傳記書。 在愛因斯坦和畢卡索的時代，傳統上以直覺來了解時間和空間已不適用，兩人不約而同地以更深刻的方式呈現時間與空間。就此看來，愛因斯坦的相對論和畢卡索的立體主義其實是在處理相同的問題。
