E. H. GOMBRICH ART AND ILLUSION
THE QUESTION "Why is it that different ages and different nations have represented the visible world in such different ways?" science, psychology, sociology and philosophy the notion of "schemata" that is, the idea that the artist "begins not with his visual impression but with his/her idea or concept" the artist adjusts this idea to fit, as well as it can, the object, landscape, or person before him or her "making and matching"
QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS WORKS OF ART ARE NOT MIRRORS SCIENCE IS NEUTRAL ”WHAT WE CALL THE EXTERNAL WORLD IS REALLY THE RESULT OF A COMPLEX PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS” HISTORY OF SEEING ART AS THE EXPRESSION OF THE AGE REJECTION OF ACADEMIC CONVENTIONS (WHY?) ”ART IS BORN OF ART, NOT OF NATURE” ”TO FILL THE GAP” – WHAT GAP?
