Art & Science
For five hundred years, medicine learned the body mostly through pictures. So who got drawn, and how carefully, is not an art history question. It is a clinical one. The full anatomy of the clitoris was published in 1844. Modern anatomy had to rediscover it in 1998. And nobody counted its nerve fibres in a human until 2023.
Art & Longevity
I love art so much it moves every fibre of my being. Recently I started wondering what that phenomenon in my body actually is, when I look at art I love and art I don't. Both provoke a sensation. It turns out both have been measured, and the difference between them is not one of degree. Your brain changes the category.
