On the strange influence on the art

[Amateur]

I think that the evolution of fine art is not influenced by physics and other sciences themselves, and their practical results. It is unlikely then the artist versed in the best physical description of the picture of the world such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. But the emergence of photography in the XIX century, in fact, deprive artists work "on the exact image of reality: the picture has done much more accurately than any artist. However, the impressions (impressions) from seen picture, then black and white, is able to transfer to a much lesser extent than painting. Hence - etyudnaya manner of the Impressionists, and their experiments with color (which had begun at Delacroix). Artist's keen eye noticed and perspective distortion of photographic images by comparison with visual perception (Gauguin expressed on this issue clearly, Cezanne - his paintings). Emergence in the early XX century, color photography, with its first imperfect color causing cravings for pure colors in the painting (eg, Vlaminck, Marquet, Dufy). Stereoscopic picture with unsurpassed realism (born almost simultaneously with the usual, but experienced a real boom at the turn of XIX - XX centuries, by the way, it was a great admirer of Leo Tolstoy) resulted in the desire of artists to "renounce the visibility, an image refracted through their consciousness of reality (futurism, cubism, surrealism), as well as non-objective painting. All this, of course, only a plausible hypothesis.

I'm not in the least inclined to mysticism and do not intend to look at these amazing coincidences some otherworldly effect. But some incomprehensibly immense transformation of the human spirit in the creation and understanding of the arts (music, literature, painting) and in the constructions of science (physics, biology, psychology) really are synchronous and they probably are interrelated.

I was about 15 years to hit and has since been etched in the memory of the painting Burliuk "Atom" from the magazine "America" somewhere in 1970 (the painting itself is in the Metropolitan-Museum). She wrote, as I recall, in purple tones, dated 1911 year, but it shows the (conditional, of course) and the orbital electrons and the nucleus of an atom. But the orbital model of the atom was first proposed by Niels Bohr and justified only in 1912! How ...? I have long and so far unsuccessfully been looking for a reproduction of this painting and would be very grateful to those who have laid it on the forum.
