The Psychology of Visual Art Eye, Brain and Art

'A sumptuous book covering art history and linking it to a broad and deep coverage of visual neurosciences. This is a delightful, engaging text for advanced undergraduates as well as for specialists in vision and in art who want to understand the overlap of the two disciplines. It will bring both groups of readers back to favourite works of art with a new appreciation.' Patrick Cavanagh, Université Paris Descartes and Harvard University, Massachusetts

A pleasure to read.' Al Rees, Royal College of Art
