An in-depth look at Bernar Venet's relationship to the affinity for mathematics as the basis for much of his art.

Kuspit writes: Bernar Venet seems to be the most intellectual of conceptual artists, but his intellectuality is a means to a romantic end - what Kant called "the feeling of the sublime." Venet has had a life-long affair with mathematics, but the mathematical murals - his descriptive term - that are its grand climax, are more sublime than mathematical, or rather use mathematics as a springboard to the sublime. They are in fact an inspired rendering of what Kant called "the mathematically sublime."
