Numbers are, in Pythagorean thought, the "stuff" of the universe, the principles that govern all things. The work of art is no exception to this observation: it is based on rhythm and proportions, consequently on number, and this is even more evident when a number is at the center of its subject, historical or fictional. This work considers the way in which artistic representation is governed by the number of elements it contains, objects, characters, structural motifs. More broadly, it constitutes a panorama of the aesthetic and symbolic presence of numbers in all the arts.
Exploring the first nine numbers, Robert Bared's essay, encyclopedic in nature and strong in pedagogical objectivity, also questions our relationship to others and to ourselves, through narcissism, splitting, the love triangle, the friendly quartet, and reads like a sensitive invitation to another intimacy of the world.
