String Quartet by Gregory La Traille - The original pen and ink drawing, framed and hangable, was recently part of the "Big Names - Small Art" Auction at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California. The piece received high bids and raised money for the museum.
La Traille's String Quartet is also available on different products at the artist's online shop at Redbubble.com via this link:
S=K log W is the famous Boltzmann equation relating the entropy. La Traille’s eye-catching artwork incorporates the equation with dynamic circles and colors. (SOLD at the PBS 2021 Art Auction)
Dirac Equation
Oil on Canvas 2021- SOLD to a private collector - products and prints available.
The equation described the symmetry of atomic particle spins and thereby predicted the existence of antimatter, which was later proven. (If we are to eventually have a Star Trek like future, this is the doorway to it.)
Euler Formula
Oil on Canvas 2923
Another of La Traille’s artworks that presents a noted equation, highlighting the aesthetic beauty of its symbols. The celebrated formula of Leonhard Euler, establishes a relationship between trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function, extending the range of functions beyond what is allowed under the real numbers, The formula can simplify equations involving rotations and has applications in electrical engineering. All from an 18th century Swiss mathematician.
L’Aventure feminine - oil on canvas
Originally sketched as part of a larger outdoor mural depicting Rousseau’s Snake Charmer and her Sisters, but not used. These relaxed feminine figures in lovely reddish-browns appear to be witnessing an unseen game. (Property of a private collector.)
