		The squared grid was the key to the Renaissance invention of linear perspective, a conceptual tool by which painters could represent an abstract model of the world.
		Persisting through the 19th century as an essential instrument of pictorial representation, the Renaissance grid was a means of objective measurement of the real, and at the same time, in its pure optical geometry, a reflection of spiritual order and human perfection—of man made in God’s image.
		The modern grid also conveys the modularity of time and mechanization of the machine age—it can be seen in film frames, for example, and boxes on an assembly line—epitomized by Andy Warhol’s grid of silkscreened Mona Lisas, electric chairs, and Campbell’s soup cans.
