Description

These are meditative works, further reflections on the psychological basis of perception and the visual recording of things observed. Written in a lively, entertaining style with many crystallized insights into the visual process which we all tend to take for granted, the essays will be especially welcome and useful. The author has the unerring knack of forcing us to reexamine our assumptions about what we see and how we see it. Brought together for the first time, this collection of essays explores problems in the perceptual basis of art, psychology, and visual phenomena in general.
