Art and Perception. Towards a Visual Science of Art, Part 1

This volume is a collection of articles which explore the relations between modern and classical visual art on the one hand and what is currently known or believed about visual perception, visual exploration, the eye, and the visual brain. The book includes speculative as well as firmly-grounded theories and approaches.
Articles have been chosen for their scholarly value, their scientific approach as far as possible, and their intrinsic interest.
