    An associate of the School of Paris —a group of avant-gardists including Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Jean Metzinger, and Marcel Duchamp —Princet is credited with introducing the work of Henri Poincaré and the concept of the "fourth dimension" to the cubists at the Bateau-Lavoir during the first decade of the 20th century.

  3. Representation (arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_(arts)

    Representation (arts) Representation is the use of signs that stand in for and take the place of something else. [1] It is through representation that people organize the world and reality through the act of naming its elements. [1] Signs are arranged in order to form semantic constructions and express relations.

  4. Greco-Buddhist art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhist_art

    The Greco-Buddhist art or Gandhara art is the artistic manifestation of Greco-Buddhism, a cultural syncretism between Ancient Greek art and Buddhism. It had mainly evolved in the ancient region of Gandhara, located in the northwestern fringe of the Indian subcontinent. The series of interactions leading to Gandhara art occurred over time ...

  5. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  6. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    Shape and form (visual arts) In the visual arts, shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, or colours, or an area enclosed by other shapes, such as triangles, circles, and squares. [1] Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition.

  7. Group representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_representation

    The term representation of a group is also used in a more general sense to mean any "description" of a group as a group of transformations of some mathematical object. More formally, a "representation" means a homomorphism from the group to the automorphism group of an object. If the object is a vector space we have a linear representation.

  8. 3D computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics

    v. t. e. 3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images.

  9. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional (2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane. 3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic ...
