Abstract: Abstract Mathematicians have used pictures for thousands of years, to aid their own research and to communicate their results to others. We examine the different types of pictures used in mathematics, their relation to mathematical art and their use in outreach activities. (This article is based on a talk on 28 September 2010 at the conference Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics in Óbidos.)
