Article Abstract:
Graphs, which by its overall appearance of a graph in a scientific publication is not expected to incite aesthetic rapture, do not have aesthetics, but it is for the artist to visualize its potential and use it with inspirations. German artist Margaret Leiteritz with a series of paintings that is based directly on graphs in texts on chemistry and physics attempts to show that her works are precious visualizations of the underlying actions of materials in nature, embodying the forces and forms that make up the patterns and rhythms of the world.
