Description
Exploring the writings of major thinkers—among them Montesquieu, Burke, Kant, Marx, and Freud—and leading art historians, including Pliny, Winckelmann, Ruskin, Pater, Gombrich, and Baxandall, as well as artists such as Alberti and Leonardo and scientists from Aristotle to Zeki, John Onians shows how an understanding of the neural basis of the mind contributes to an understanding of all human behaviours, including art.
Neuroarthistory offers a unique perspective on how the intricate workings of the brain influence the creation and perception of art. By delving into the connections between neuroscience and art history, Onians bridges the gap between these disciplines, providing profound insights into both fields.
