summary
Claims that CSS reproduces classic composition and emotion by example: uses flexbox the Golden Ratio and perspective-origin vanishing points to recreate Renaissance depth, shows HTML/CSS slides and demos that reproduce da Vinci/Raphael framing, and rebuilds a Flash game as FirstPersonTetris (Flash) rebuilt in CSS/JavaScript to demonstrate 2D projection into perceived 3D. Cites cave paintings from 30,000–32,000 years ago, compares Chuck Close pixel watercolors to CSS pixels and uses SVG animation and CSS Grid in working demos.
