The following pages are an attempt to think about the relationship between fractal pictures and Art. I do not claim any authority in the field of Art Philosophy and my ideas can be considered somewhat naive. Dear reader, the matter is far from being closed. Would you like to participate, through some new idea and/or reference, or through some reaction to the opinions in these pages, please write to me!

The general framework is given below, together with the most important pages (click on the buttons to get them). However, you will have to go through the "introduction" pages to access the whole set of pages logically. The complete list of the pages is displayed on the right.
