Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.

In real trees in nature, that number is usually somewhere ... branch diameter scaling exponent. But by looking at fractals in art and trees, the researchers hoped to start a discussion.

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

Trees in nature follow a “self-similar ... “We analyse trees in artwork as self-similar, fractal forms, and empirically compare art with theories of branch thickness developed in biology ...
