Archaic imagery is so strictly uniform that, even if we did not know of a 'canon,' we could assume that one or many very probably existed for this early epoch in art. ... The ancient sculptors sought to elucidate the factual qualities of these models, which they continuously created anew in thousandfold modifications; this is shown in proportion grids for reliefs found in Egyptian tombs, but above all in the legacy of the famous 'Canon of Polyclitus,' of which we admittedly know nothing specific, but which must have been authoritative to the highest degree for the Greek sculptors. Almost all significant artists in the Italian and German Renaissance studied proportions very earnestly, especially those of the human form.”</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> Regarding the left side of the image: “I show the two figures (woman and man) from Wyneken's table 5, but for clarification I include the tonal ratios of the monochord. ... As one can see, Wyneken uses the same measuring unit for man and woman, but divides the space of the man (string-lengths) into third-ratios, and that of the woman into fifth-ratios. Thus the top of the man's head (measured from below) is 5/6 of the unit, that of the woman 4/5 of the unit. ... To me, the most interesting thing in this regard is the aspect of the tone evaluation of the male-female ratio 5/6 : 4/5. ... This (by string-length) is the ratio of the minor third 5/6 e</span><img src="../kayser2/imagelibrary/Nature/10.jpg" alt="" /><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> to the major third 4/5 e! ... In my </span><span style="font-style: italic;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Harmonia Plantarum</span><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> (pp. 201-206) I attempted to show that the third, whether major or minor, is in itself not only the 'sex-tone' in the musical sense, since it defines the major and minor triads, but also has the capability of interpreting the problem of sexuality in a completely new way, as the 'pentadic' (fifth-) ratio in the morphological-metaphysical sense. Man and woman, therefore, have on average the ratio of two third intervals in their pure size-ratios, i.e. their pure external measurements hint at the inner sexual relationship of the two sexes!”</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Peter Neubäcker<br /> </span></p> <div style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Image 9</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;" align="center" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> <img width="500" height="670" src="/EZ/kayser2/kayser2/imagelibrary/Nature/12.jpg" alt="" title="" /></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;" align="center" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> </span></span></div> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"></p> <p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img src="../kayser2/imagelibrary/Nature/11.jpg" alt="" /><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><br /> </span></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"></span></div></div> </body> </html></div>
