Further Studies in the Psychology of Pictorial Representation
Revised
These absorbing and stimulating essays on the psychology of pictorial representation form a companion volume to the author's immensely influential 'Art and Illusion'. Writing on the problems of perspective, on "Visual Discovers in Art", on the representation of movement, expression, gesture and action, on the role of visual images in communication, on standards of truth in representation, Professor Gombrich combines the insights of the art historian with the rigorous approach of the perceptual psychologist.
'Art and Illusion' has long been an inspiration to scientists as well as students of art. In these complementary essays the fruitful dialogue between art history and science is continued, with the author's usual clarity and enthusiasm.
Includes black-and-white illustrations.
