Avant-Garde artists and the physical sciences approach mixes that depict the shape of space at Lucio Fontana and El Lissitzky

Abstract

The perception of space was an obsession among Avant-Garde artists at the beginning of the twentieth century, until some artworks in this aspect appeared as multiple experiments in scientific laboratories, so the visions of its artists converged with modern science on the concept of visualizing a form of space. The new scientific transformations since the beginning of the twentieth century have led to imposing its presence on the European arena through accelerated scientific discoveries, which have been reflected in the arts of modernity, and beyond (Postmodernisme). In this aspect, Lissitzky Fontana, occupied two different directions in their perception of space, and they expressed their ideas in forms that took into account the scientific aspect. The research question in this regard was whether they actually met in form and content with the physicists' perception of the universe. From this point of view, the research we are dealing with revolves around many research aspects related to the relationship of art with science since the emergence of modernist and experimental philosophies, and the cosmic vision and its impact on physics and art after it was associated with the work that is related to space, “spatialism”, in the concept of infinity in cosmos and dynamism and the impact of mechanical and electromagnetic philosophy on the arts that describe the two fields: electric and magnetic which formed a cosmic vision for the Rayonists in art and between the force and the energy of the void with the designations of zero.
