distinguish Wittgenstein s Poker Wittgenstein s rod is a geometry problem attributed to 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein . The set up is as follows a Rod geometry rod passes through a sleeve, in which it can smoothly slide. The sleeve is tangentially affixed to a wall at its lengthwise center, forming a pivot. One end of the rod is moved in a circle, whose centre is not coincident with the pivot, and whose plane is parallel to the wall. The question of the thought experiment is what shape does the other end of the rod describe? The seemingly obvious answer is a circle , but in fact it describes an Inverse curve invert ed cardioid .

Lynne Drexler was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1928. She began painting as a child, and later took art classes at the College of William and Mary. In 1956, she moved to New York City in order to further her study. There, she became a devotee of Abstract Expressionism , and studied with two major figures of the movement Hans Hofmann and Robert Motherwell . Her time with both of these artists had a lasting influence on her work, which was characterized by vivid colors, free brushwork, and geometric shapes. Many of her canvasses were large and have a patchwork quality. Drexler remained in New York City throughout the 60s and 70s, living for a time at the famed Hotel Chelsea Chelsea Hotel . She was a devotee of classical music and would often go to opera and symphony performances with a sketchpad in hand in order to be inspired by the music. As her distinctive artistic style developed, Drexler s paintings became less strictly abstract and exhibited a synthesis of abstract and representational influences. By 1983, Drexler had grown weary of the art scene in New York and felt increasingly distanced from and unmoved by the Pop Art movement, then in its ascendancy. She moved permanently to Monhegan Island , an artists haven off the coast of Maine, where she had spent most summers since 1963. The island s unique mixture of solitude and community provided a much needed respite from the clamorous lifestyle Drexler had lived in New York, and during this time she began to paint more prolificly. Drexler died in 1999, on Monhegan Island. The first comprehensive exhibit of her work, showcasing over fifty pieces, ran at the Portland Museum of Art from September 2008 through February 2009.
