“In the artistic chaos of these last years, when the absolute liberation of the individual instinct has brought it to the
point of frenzy, an attempt to identify the harmonic disciplines that have secretly, in every period, served as foundations for painting may well seem folly. But this
folly is in fact wisdom. It is the way to a kind of knowledge essential for whoever wants to paint…

Perceptions in the flood…
![Page 5: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The structure in the painting, the structure in the mind, the structure of the age…
![Page 6: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The spiritualists say it’s “Psyche,” the natural scientists say “Nature,” the anatomists and the psychologists say “Brain,” the philosopher says “Metaphysics.” Some say, “I don’t know.”
![Page 7: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It’s “it”…
![Page 8: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Primal space, the undifferentiated mass of all points…
![Page 9: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But we can only experience the “undifferentiated as points…
![Page 10: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Like the infinity of the totality of the stars as points, as constellations in the sky…
![Page 11: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Studies of perception show we experience points as simple geometric forms…
![Page 12: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
From Vasily Kandinsky: Point and Line to Plane
![Page 13: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And so over the centuries and in all the cultures of the world, the simple forms of points become the core of the simple geometric shapes and volumes… the primaries of spirit (Sengai and Zen), sky (Kepler and Platonic solids to hold the orbits of planets) and earth (Cezanne)…
![Page 14: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Artists used them—for instance very often the triangle--to make “harmony and serenity”…
![Page 15: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Raphael—Alba Madonna, early 16th C.Note the use of a pre-established geometric composition—the triangle in a circle in a square— in order to achieve “serenity and grace”
—from Mark Harden Artchive
Raphael—Alba Madonna.“Raphael adopted the artistic innovations of elder colleagues, in particular Leonardo and Michelangelo, and synthesized them with his own aims. This did not pass Michelangelo by; and in 1541, long after Raphael’s death, M. was still complaining in a letter that ‘everything he knew about art he got from me.’”
—from Mark Harden Artchive
![Page 16: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sometimes, the simple geometric form becomes the subject itself of the work of art…
![Page 17: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Well, for us who might wish to use these perceptions and ideas to compose a painting…
![Page 18: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Just as any two points will tend to create a line between them…
![Page 19: The “undifferentiated aesthetic continuum”--Jacques Villon, in Charles Bouleau: The Painter’s Secret Geometry. Geometry and Art and Geometry and Time. The “undifferentiated](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012003/60a9253ff7b89c2d081338bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So the corners of a rectangular format create points which create lines which create the “Armature of the Rectangle” (Bouleu’s phrase)…

Which creates its own complexity…
