oops -- somehow I had a link to an Andy Goldsworthy spiral in my previous email. Well it was a nice spiral of white rocks, at least on topic -- mathematics in art. It was supposed to be a link to history of the artist Albrecht Dürer who was quite interested in mathematics. The correct link for that is: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49825435268_652f6d12a3_b.jpg James On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 10:16 AM James Buddenhagen <jbuddenh@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, Albrecht Dürer was very interested in mathematics. See here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jbuddenh/31131350214 for more history about this.
His famous image: Melencolia I, shows (among lots of other things) a polyhedron which appears to be a truncated rhombohedron (some say a truncated cube). See it here: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49825435268_652f6d12a3_b.jpg
