Psychology and Philosophy of Abstract Art
Author: Paul M.W. Hackett
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137483326
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
This book examines how we perceive and understand abstract art in contrast to artworks that represent reality. Philosophical, psychological and neuroscience research, including the work of philosopher Paul Crowther, are considered and out of these approaches a complex model is developed to account for this experience. The understanding embodied in this model is rooted in facet theory, mapping sentences and partially ordered analyses, which together provide a comprehensive understanding of the perceptual experience of abstract art.

Art & Technology in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Author: Pierre Francastel
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
But as art history itself is being reshaped by the culture of technology, his nuanced meditations from the 1950s on the intricate intersection of technology and art gain heightened value. The concrete objects that Francastel examines are for the most part from the architecture and design of the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Through them he engages his central problem: the abrupt historical collision between traditional symbol-making activities of human society and the appearance in the nineteenth century of unprecedented technological and industrial capabilities and forms.
