The birth of modern physics a century ago fired artistic as well as scientific imaginations. This can be seen in the Pompidou Centres current exhibition of abstract art, covering Dutch painter Piet Mondrian and the De Stijl group, led by another Dutchman, Theo van Doesburg. A series of canvasses illustrates the evolution of abstract techniques, from the soft contours of impressionism to the spare geometry of cubism. "We arrive at a portrayal of other things, such as the laws governing matter," Mondrian wrote. Cubist techniques were inspired, in part, by the multi-dimen-sional mathematics of Henri Poincare and his contemporaries.
