圖書名稱:Curves and Angles, A Mystical Approach to the Ordinary World

內容簡介

Humans have a pronounced preference for curves; they much prefer curves over angles in almost all aspects of life. Based on past studies, it seems like this preference is real; in other words, humans specifically like curves versus simply disliking angles. They like curves. In fact, curved shapes are uniformly described as more beautiful, more pleasing, more graceful, and more artistic than any angular shape, regardless of the subject. Moreover, many people associate this curvature, this curving shape, as much more magical than those angular objects. Curves are viewed as magical whereas angles seem, at their best, to be viewed as practical. At their worst, angular objects and/or surfaces evoke a negative response in the viewer.

In past studies and in primitive tribes, the angularity of the object actually triggers a sense of threat. Even from a neurophysiological standpoint, angles are automatically associated with a threat with significantly increased activity in the bilateral amygdala of a person who is viewing a sharp-angled object. This amygdalar activity is associated with a fear response. According to our amygdalae, angles are bad and corners are fear-inducing. Recent studies using MRI readings confirm this observation.

More significantly, the use of curved lines and shapes as fundamental aspects of pleasing art spans time and cultures. Curved figures, abstract curves, waves, and spirals are present even in prehistoric art in cave paintings and continue through the Classical Period, Renaissance, Impressionism, and into the Modern Period.

So why this book? Curves are magical; they do evoke beauty and mysticism. They bring to mind and evoke the majesty, magical moments of this world. In contrast, angles remind us of the hard, brutal realities of this world-the dangerous corners in which we may find ourselves. This collection of photographs helps illustrate each of these competing concepts. As the viewer, I would hope and suggest that you view these photographs separately and see each as a unique view on the world. Then, combine them and enjoy the world as seen through a photographer’s lens. Allow yourself to be transported into the magical aspects of this life which may not be obvious on first viewing. Enjoy what these photographs may teach you of this world and of yourself.

Charles E. Rawlings, MD, JD
