No longer is explanation of art subjective and the sole domain of
the art critic. Introducing Neurones, Art and Morality, this
well-researched and insightful book applies recent scientific
explanations of brain biology to explain the impact of art, and
adds objectivity and independence from commercial and personality
influences. Beyond that, it illuminates how the artist uses
brushstrokes, shapes and colours to manipulate our emotions.
Through the prism of science, the process of visual reception,
storage, memory connections, interpretation and reaction become
clear. The differences between old masters and modern art genres
are discussed and the relationship of "taste" to the cognitive
stock of the viewer is explored. The artist draws human experience
into focus enabling us to see ourselves with a clarity that is
otherwise elusive. In this way we are reminded of the
characteristic values of our existence, an important part of our
acculturation. This book is aimed at art lovers and is an
accessible and informative scientific discourse on that magic
aspect of painting, how the artist achieves and how the viewer
perceives. This is extrapolated to how art was used as a moral
guide to the illiterate, as propaganda and as protest art. In turn,
the religious and socio-political influences on art and artists are
followed through history from cave art to monochrome canvases.
