. . . . Hoffmann en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Hoffmann does offer many examples where the art has directly aided science. Biopolymers, the backbones of proteins, appear sometimes helical and sometimes stretched out with pleated appearance. In the 1980s Jane Richardson en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_S._Richardson invented a way to visualize these proteins tht clearly learned from the constructivist attempts to play around with the rhythm and bounce of familiar forms. In the early days she drew these chemical entities by hand, and over the decades this has evolved into a whole series of computer programs for the dynamic visualization of all kinds of data. In a way, though, the earliest hand-drawn images are the most exciting, and the most beautiful, such as the drawing of triosephosphate isomerase in figure 42
