Naïve and professional views of art and non-art

Více o knize

The exploration of how naïve viewers perceive art versus non-art reveals intriguing insights into neuro-aesthetic perception. Eye movement analysis indicated no significant difference in how subjects scanned artful pictures compared to snapshots, suggesting a lack of intuitive distinction without a defined understanding of art. The book argues that the function of painting lies in the communication between the artist and the viewer, emphasizing the role of active eye movements in this process. It invites readers to consider the implications of scientific advances in visual communication amid the ambiguity of contemporary art definitions.
