Art and Illusion
A Study in the Psychology of Pictorial Representation
Book • 2000
In *Art and Illusion*, Ernst Gombrich examines the history and psychology of pictorial representation.
He addresses the question of why different ages and nations have represented the visible world in such different ways, using science, psychology, and philosophy.
Gombrich introduces the concept of 'schemata,' where artists begin with an idea or concept and adjust it to fit the object being represented.
The book delves into the psychology of perception, discussing how artists and viewers interpret visual information and how styles in art have evolved over time.
It bridges the gap between science and the humanities, focusing on the psychological experience of the viewers of art rather than just the artists themselves.
