The morphing of Leonardo to Mona Lisa, 1987, could only have been realized with a computer. Lillian Schwartz split the faces of the Mona Lisa and Leonardo's self-portrait down the mid-dle, adjusting the sizes and juxtapos-ing them so that one side of Mona Lisa's face matched Leonardo's. Schwartz chronicles the evolution of the split-face from a study in composition to a convincing argument that the Mona Lisa is based on Leonardo's self-portrait. Leonardo is still with us, uniting science and art.
