Kazuo Ueno Discusses Theory of Light in New Book

Every art historian nowadays except Ueno dismissed hidden influence to Vermeer from Christiaan Huygens, who is the most powerful Light physics and astronomy researcher in the 17th Century. Because unlike Leewenhoek's close relation to Vermeer, it was neglected or underestimated until now, the event a father of Christiaan, Constantijn Huygens who is most influential musician and politician on that time, visited Vermeer's atelier with his friends.

People also dismissed the fact that Christiaan Huygens invented microtonal music theory. According to Ueno, Constantijn Huygens' interest for Vermeer's painting shows he is the most possible candidate for the person who stands intersection between painting, music and physics in the history of all subjects.

Ueno masterfully lays out the elements of faith in Vermeer's use of warped optics in his carefully composed paintings and the Japanese art concept called 'Mitate' (literally translated: look alike, originally coming from 18 Century Japanese Ukiyo-e painter Suzuki Harunobu)-from this, he proceeds to a brilliant exposition of a new theory for the pictorial universe that creates depth of perception and the greater understanding of light in relation to what is seen; eventually, Man becoming Altair, Woman Vega in his painting "Officer and a Laughing Girl". (See Composition Painting by author in the Picture in of "Officer and a Laughing Girl" at front cover page of this book), this is Chinese [& Japanese] version of Star Festival, Altair and Vega)
