Tony Robbin will show how Picasso used drawings from Esprit Jouffret's Traité elémentaire de géométrie à quatre dimensions  (1903) in his invention of cubism in 1910. Robbin will then discuss the continuation of the tradition of artists using four-dimensional geometry with examples from his own work.  Robbin has had over 25 solo exhibitions of his painting and sculpture since his debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974, and been included in over 100 group exhibitions in over 12 countries. Robbin holds the patent for the application of Quasicrystal geometry to architecture.
