This is a dense book, not an easy read, but a must for the advanced student of art or photography. The ability to do graphic analysis is critical to both those seriously producing images, and those considering/critiquing them. Arnheim was one of the first, and certainly one of the most informed to explicate the foundations of image graphics in the perceptual mechanisms of the mind.

Testo di riferimento, monumentale ma chiaro, schematico, scorrevole. Ricco di esempi utili presi (anzi, "tolti", come dice il traduttore dell'edizione Feltrinelli) dalla storia dell'arte. Interessanti anche i frequenti parallelismi con la musica. ( )

Uses psychological study of perception to examine the creation of art and our reactions to it. Applies this understanding to purposeful representation. Breaks down qualities of art and reality by our perceptual reactions to them. Qualities such as balance, form, shape, light, color, and movement are discussed.
