Gino Severini was a Mathematical Art mathematician born in 1883. He painted motion by overlapping positions in time — calculus in oil paint.
Futurist painter using mathematical motion sequences. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. Futurism represented motion as sequential position overlays — temporal mathematics in paint.
