Abstract

Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing by Margaret Livingstone is reviewed. Livingstone's analysis balances genes and experiences in proposing explanations that illustrate commonalities between art and visual perception. The book contributes to the literature that applies visual perception research to artwork, although it fails to probe where artistic visual processing might differ from visual processing per se.
