Vision, Vol. 3, Pages 67: Questions for The Psychology of the Artful Mind Vision doi: 10.3390/vision3040067 Authors: Calì This paper reconstructs the “Arnheim’s puzzle” over the psychology of art. It is argued that the long-established psychological theories of art do not account properly for the observable variability of art, which provide the phenomena of interest whose psychological factors need to be discovered. The general purpose principles of such...
