Never before published essays by the widely admired psychologist of
art. Arnheim spiritedly asserts art's fundamental achievements.
Rudolf Arnheim has spent a lifetime analyzing the basic
psychological principles that make works of visual art meaningful,
stirring, indispensable, and lasting. But recent fashionable
attitudes and theories about art, he argues, are undermining the
foundation of artistic achievement itself.
The essays collected in this volume are written in his familiar,
careful, and solidly supported manner, but under present
circumstances they amount to a call to arms. Included is a series
of miniature monographs on a variety of great works of art. In
other essays, Arnheim uncovers enlightening perspectives in the art
of the blind, in architectural space, in caricature, and in the
work of psychotics and autistic children. He also presents new
scientific aspects on the psychology of art and widens our range of
vision by connecting art with language, literature, and religion.
