"A powerful story of thought and life ... A study of creativity: a way to define it and a way to achieve it" - New Yorkers
The acclaimed best-selling authors Steve Jobs, the author of Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, brought Leonardo da Vinci into this exciting new biography.
Based on Leonardo's amazing notebook and thousands of new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Izaxon knows a story that links his art to his science. He shows that Leonardo's genius is based on skills that can be improved himself with fantasy such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, imagination and cheating.
He produced two of the most famous paintings in history, "Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa." But in his own head he is also a technician. His enthusiasm became obsessive from time to time, and he pursues innovative research with anatomy, fossils, birds, heart, flight equipment, botany, geology and weapons. His ability to confront the intersection of humanities and science made him the most creative genius in history and became symbolic throughout his portrayal of the Vitrubians.
Like other great innovators, his creativity comes from widespread passion. He removed meat from the surface of the body, drew the moving muscles of the lips, and drew the most memorable smile in history. He examined optical mathematics, showed how the light hits the cornea, and created an illusion of changing the angle of view at the last supper. Isaacson also described how enthusiasm for Leonardo's life-long work provided information on his paintings and inventions.
Leonardo likes to combine multiple passions, yet it is the ultimate expression for creativity. He is also prone to trouble, such as illegal, homosexual, vegetarian, left handed, distracting, sometimes heresy. It reminds me that the importance of having his own life interspersed between ourselves and our children is not only the acceptance of knowledge but also the willingness to question it - imaginative and inferior Geniuses of rebels are the same, I think they are different
Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci of Tuscany in 1462, during which he was called Renaissance. His artistic creation and scientific progress not only transcended his age but also definitely contributed to the foundation of the greatest modern technology in history. Many of Leonardo's paintings are still evidence of his pioneering skills, talent and talent. AmericanHeritage® English Dictionary defines "Renaissance" as follows. Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the best thinkers of his time. Most people will remember much of his masterpieces including Mona Lisa, Last Supper, and Vitruvian. But he just did more than drawing art; he was also an inventor and mathematician who studied various subjects. Leonardo's life is more attractive than anyone can imagine. He may be dead, but his work still exists.
Leonardo da Vinci of Leon Walter I saxon - a wonderful view of the famous blogger da Vinci. I have read a part of Leonardo's biography, and Isaacson is by far the best biography, providing a wonderful journey in his life. Not only did Da Vinci create the most famous paintings in history, he was also interested in managing his life. He eventually pioneered research on anatomy, birds, heart, flight equipment, geology and weapons. His true genius is through crossover art and science. Very good foodstuffs of capitalism, democracy and Ralph - John Muller I can not remember for my life who recommended this book, I have been in my bookshelf for a long time. But I recently picked it up, Oh, man - I would like you to read it sooner. Let me explain this strange title and why this book is wonderful. For those who do not remember (and why do you do this?), "Ralph's pretty good grocery store" is a fictitious grocery store on Lake Woebegone. What is that motto?
