Considered a great classic by all who seek for a meeting ground
between science and the humanities, "Art and Illusion" examines the
history and psychology of pictorial representation in light of
present-day theories of visual perception information and learning.
Searching for a rational explanation of the changing styles of art,
Gombrich reexamines many ideas on the imitation of nature and the
function of tradition. In testing his arguments he ranges over the
history of art, noticing particularly the accomplishments of the
ancient Greeks, and the visual discoveries of such masters as
Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt, as well as the impressionists and
the cubists. Gombrich's triumph in Art and Illusion arises from the
fact that his main concern is less with the artists than with
ourselves, the beholders.
