Since its first publication in 1954, this work has established itself as a unique classic. It applies the approaches and findings of modern psychology to the study of art; it descirbes the visual process that takes place when people create - or look at - works in the various arts, and explains how they organize visual material according to definite psychological laws.

Artists, critics, art historicans, students, and general readers have found it a highly readable book.
Now Arnheim has throughtly revised and enlarged the text and adds new illustrations, taking advantage of recent developments in his own work and that of others. For anyone pursuing art as a lifetime adventure/endeavor, this is your art bible. Aankhen full movie. This book was pivotal in opening my mind to a multifaceted way of looking at visual organization, composition and development. It gave me a hunger to create that still fuels me today.

It gave me a hunger to create that still fuels me today. Rudolf Arnheim is often overlooked as a pusher of modernist thinking and perhaps that he is maybe out of style or old school, this is SO untrue. Yes, he is from the modernist era and references many artists from that era because of when this was written, but this book is a timeless way of looking at anything. He was an absolute genius and loved teaching, which is very evident in this book.
He is in the direct lineage from the Bauhaus and studied with the most influential psychologists, architects and artists of the 20th century. He wrote well into his 90s (lived to be 103!), creating new books for the world. This type of book is probably not for the casual art enthusiast but for people looking to explore art on a deeper realm and gain an understanding of art, the artists mind, and how people perceive art and interpret art mentally regardless of if it contains a narrative or recognizable subject matter. This book is like learning a new language/forgotten language. What once was just a bunch of meaningless sounds or words that stood alone become sentences. It is that prolific. Although his writing style is academic, it is by no means boring and every chapter leads to the pursuit of more knowledge through chasing down books, authors, musicians and artists that he references.
If you read this book and love it, you should try to get your hands on a copy of 'The Thinking Eye' by Paul Klee and Le Corbusier's 'The Modulor'. Everyone who reads this book in its entirety is guaranteed to wind up appreciating (and even 'understanding') abstract modernist art- I know I did. Contrary to what someone said here I would say this stuff does sink in- mainly because Arnheim managed to present his observations clearly, and illustrated them convincingly with visuals, in the form of reproductions or explanatory sketches by the author himself.

Arnheim's book will equip its readers with not just a vocabulary, but a whole grammar for talking and thinking about paintings from any chosen era- an invaluable skill for anyone who falls in love with a particular painting but doesn't know why or how to explain it to others.
Finally, 'Art and Visual Perception' is an essential read for those confused by post-modern art, willing to enjoy paintings firsthand, on a very basic and satisfying level, that is as resonant arrangements of lines, colours, planes. You'll love Kandinsky after reading this one. A wonderful insight into our artist look of our world as we see it through our eyes and mind. A wonderful book that has views from both artist and scientist on the subject of sight and art.and where the two meet. Also the psychology of viewing art is given unique attention with clear examples of theory of our perception of our world around us. I found it easy to read and a book worth taking my time to go through so don't be daunted by its size, one can read and put it down and pick it up at a A wonderful insight into our artist look of our world as we see it through our eyes and mind.

Its a must read and this is it's fifty year anniversary of it's publication so it's been a go to for many an artist in this era.
