HARMONY AND AESTETICS OF FACIAL PROFILE
Abstract
From the ancient times a face profile has represented a specific mark of every human being. We can clearly see racial and hereditary characteristics, development discrepancies of the facial skeleton but also emotions and age on it. Such is its specificity that to this day a profile represents a challenge for scientific research from the domain of medical science and anthropology but also as permanent inspiration of the most diverse types of visual arts. The purpose of this lecture is an attempt to classify facial profile in mathematical norms and proportions and also to have it characterized from the harmony and esthetic perspective with a brief historical turn to the profile analysis as well as to the influence that gives recognizable marks to a human face.
