The Morphogenesis of Visual Symbolic Forms (Art, Architecture, and Urban Structures)

Wildgen, Wolfgang

This chapter begins with a review of visual analysis methods since the twentieth century and the relevance of morphogenesis to it. The evolution of visual art points to morphogenetic principles already visible in Paleolithic “art”. Next, the morphogenetic analysis focuses on innovations in art since the Renaissance (with a focus on Leonardo a Vinci), the late modernity (William Turner, Henry Moore), and the twentieth century (Pollock and Joseph Beuys) with side-remarks on auto- and meta-reference in paintings by Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. In the remaining sections, visual artifacts beyond painting and sculpture, i.e., in architecture and urban design, are investigated regarding morphogenesis.
