Cubism inspired linocut portrait of Henri Poincaré. The background is grey with brown, white and orange and lines and curves in dark blue. He wears a suit with bow tie in dark blue, has a beard and monocle and everything is broken into shapes and planes and his face in particular looks like it’s viewed from multiple perspectives simultaneously

Happy birthday mathematician Henri Poincaré
(1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait.
My print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of reference & breaks down subjects into geometrical shapes from multiple points of view can be tied to advancements in non-Euclidian geometry in math & special relativity (Einstein, 1905). 🧵
