Art and Visual Perception, Second Edition

Description

Since its publication fifty years ago, this work has established itself as a classic. It casts the visual process in psychological terms and describes the creative way one's eye organises visual material according to specific psychological premises.

In 1974, this book was revised and expanded, and since then, it has continued to burnish Rudolf Arnheim's reputation as a groundbreaking theoretician in the fields of art and psychology.

Art and Visual Perception, Second Edition remains a seminal text in understanding the intersection of vision and artistic expression.
