Kubo in Leiden
In 1981, the theoretical physicist Ryogo Kubo (a pioneer in the field of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics) spent the Spring in Leiden as a visiting professor at the Instituut-Lorentz. (He was the Lorentz Professor of that year.) Kubo recorded his impressions in a sketch book, as he was used to do when traveling abroad. Shortly before his death in 1995, Kubo's sketches with comments were reproduced and distributed among his friends. Here is a selection.
Ryogo Kubo was our first "resident artist". Our second resident artist, Katherine Luna, contributed these drawings of Lorentz professors and this painting of concepts from (theoretical) physics.
