Anyone who knows my paintings, my architectural designs, my musical compositions, and my mathematical theorems on shape, knows my obsession with line - how emotional expressiveness changes along a line, how tension can vary between lines, and what happens when lines cross. For example, in my architectural projects, publlished in my book Shape as Memory (Birkhauser), my work has been to decompose the conventional phenomenon of a building mass into a complex system of lines. Again, my musical compositions, particularly my piano sonatas and string quartets, are formed out of cross-tensions within systems of lines rather than simplistic counterpoint. In 1992 I began a long series of paintings studying the enormous range of expressiveness that can be achieved with lines. It is convenient to decompose the entire series into 3 successive series, which correspond to successive advances I made in the invention of techniques for integrating line. The first series, called The Supremacy of Line is named after one of its culminating paintings - that shown below. For an extensive introduction to my theory of line, which is the basis of this painting, the reader should see my book The Structure of Paintings published in Springer. The canvases are all fairly large, 5 feet by 4 feet gallery canvases on heavy stretcher bars.

Leyton is a well-known artist. His paintings, sculptures, and architectural projects, have been featured in international design journals and invited exhibitions. In his MIT Press book, Symmetry, Causality, Mind (630pages) and his book in Springer-Verlag, A Generative Theory of Shape (550pages), Michael Leyton has elaborated an extensive theory of why art has such a powerful impact on the human mind. This results in an ability to intensify the content of artworks through an increased understanding of compositional organization, that Leyton has provided in his scientific work, which includes his mathematical foundations for geometry. For example, theorems of his, such as the Symmetry-Curvature Duality Theorem, which are now used in over 40 disciplines including many branches of medicine and engineering. Not only has he demonstrated this in his lengthy published analyses of classical and modern artists, but he has also demonstrated that it is possible to surpass the intensity of these artists. This he has done by using the theory developed in his books in the creation of his own artworks his paintings, his published architectural designs, and the published scores of his musical compositions. The portfolio at the present site is currently under construction. Eric Wiener of the East Village Guide, New York, writes: "This Rutgers University professor is a practitioner of arts, mathematics, music and philosophy. His breathtaking artwork deserves more than your average surfing minute as the complexities will float before your retina with time."
