Joseph Schillinger's "Area Broken by Perpendiculars" (ca. 1934) is a compelling exploration of mathematical precision and artistic expression. Schillinger, a Ukrainian-born American composer, music theorist, and artist, is best known for his Schillinger System of Musical Composition. However, his foray into visual arts reveals a fascinating intersection of geometry and abstraction.

Born in 1895 in Kharkiv, Schillinger emigrated to the United States in 1928, where he became an influential figure in both music and visual arts. His work was deeply rooted in the scientific and mathematical principles that defined much of the early 20th century's avant-garde movements. Schillinger's approach was characterized by a systematic and analytical methodology, often employing geometric forms and patterns to convey complex ideas.

In "Area Broken by Perpendiculars," Schillinger employs a genre of geometric abstraction, utilizing intersecting lines and planes to create a sense of dynamic tension and balance. The piece reflects his philosophical belief in the universality of mathematical laws as a foundation for artistic creation. Through precise techniques, he sought to illustrate the harmony and order inherent in seemingly chaotic structures.

This artwork, significant for its innovative use of geometry, is a testament to Schillinger's interdisciplinary genius. The original piece is currently held in a private collection, a cherished example of the confluence of art and science during a transformative period in modern art.
