Arnheim, Gestalt and Art

More about the book

Focusing on Rudolf Arnheim's influential ideas, this book provides a comprehensive overview of his contributions to the psychology of art. It explores key themes such as gestalt psychology, sensory modalities, and developmental processes in creativity. Rather than merely summarizing Arnheim's theories, it enriches them with contemporary gestalt research, particularly from Italy and Germany. The work emphasizes an underlying unity in Arnheim's thinking while connecting it to modern insights, creating a dynamic and sustainable perspective on the psychology of art.
