Book Synopsis
Based on the assumption that art is subject to psychology, accessible to understanding, and needed for any comprehensive survey of mental functioning, this book offers psychological findings range from experiments in the perception of shape or observations on the art work of children to broad deliberations on nature of images or of inspiration.

Trade Review
"Arnheim was a distinguished psychologist, philosopher, and critic whose work explored the cognitive basis of art—how we interpret it and, by extension, the world." * Cabinet *
"Uncommonly persuasive, eloquent, and useful." * Times Educational Supplement *
"A worthy companion to Art and Visual Perception . . . The two books together form one of the outstanding contributions of this century to the psychology of art." * Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism *
