Jehangir Sabavala
Jehangir Sabavala (5 August 1922 - 2 September 2011) was an Indian painter.
Towards the end of his career, Jehangir Sabavala had been creating only a handful of canvasses a year, each displaying his mastery of geometric planes to instill a sense of depth most commonly in landscapes. The late artist’s works have always been a favourite with curators, collectors
and art enthusiasts alike. So it’s natural that the demand for his few unsold works is set to increase.
Golden rectangle
A golden rectangle
is a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio,
one-to-phi, that is, approximately 1:1.618. A distinctive
feature of this shape is that when a square section is
removed, the remainder is another golden rectangle, that is,
with the same proportions as the first. Square removal can
be repeated infinitely, which leads to an approximation of
the golden or Fibonacci spiral.
Droste Effect
The Droste effect is a specific kind of recursive picture, one that in heraldry is termed mise en abyme. An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of itself in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This smaller version then depicts an even smaller version of itself in the same place, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system of instancing which is the cornerstone of fractal geometry.
