Abstract
Simultaneity of points of view, or polycentric views, characterizes much of the twentieth century visual culture, both in geometry and in the arts, allowing the description of complex spatial relationships. We will review the analysis of two drawing of Picasso, their local charts, and re-assemble the charts in atlases, to reconstruct the position in three dimensions of the represented object, much following the methodology established in Riemannian geometry to glue local information, when possible, into a global one. The second painting had never been analyzed before, to our knowledge.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
