Stahlratte said : Sorry to bust your bubble, but the "mystery of beauty" has been nailed down, too.

I'm sorry to say but I went to that website and  there was something to amazed me : They say that there are four qualities of a beautiful face :Color, texture, size and shape, further they say there are three known qualities: Color, texture and size and one unknown : shape. And as far as I see, shape is just the quality we are talking about.

So there goes your bubble.

 And here is another one: Loomis made his artbook for students as a guideline to make proportional "artistic" drawings. Like tekmonk showed in the images of the Loomis artbook, Loomis self  wasn't pleased with the actual, normal proportions of a real man which was 7,5 head.  He even drew a goofy moustache on the figure to make it look more dumpy. So he proposed a more artistic, pleasing 8 foot proportion. Loomis was an artist, not an engineer, he wanted to make drawings that were pleasing not realistic.

Engineers like me, try to grab the world in numbers and formula's to make the world more understandable and predictable, but the scientific discoveries of the last hundred years proved that's impossible. It feels sometimes better to work by intuïtion and emotion than by hard rules and formula's. It makes the world more exceptable.
