Gregory Minissale's work delves into the phenomenology of transcultural encounters in art, exploring how perceptions and abstract concepts shape both the creation and reception of artistic works. He integrates insights from cognitive psychology, art theory, and philosophy to offer novel approaches to researching and interpreting art and visual experience. His academic background provides a unique lens through which he examines the intricate connections between mind and medium. Minissale currently lectures in art history.
This book presents materialist and psychological theories in relation to specific artworks. Researchers and students studying art, psychology, or human imagination can use this as an important guide to understanding abstract art, or as a key text for courses on modern art.
