Categories: Arts & Photography, Science & Math

Exploring the Invisible is a study by art historian Lynn Gamwell, first published in 2002 and revised in 2020. Gamwell traces how modern art from Romanticism onward responded to scientific discoveries about worlds invisible to the naked eye, from microbes and atoms to the expanding universe.
