The Psychology of Art is published by Routledge as part of their Psychology of Everything series. Copies are available in bookstores such as Waterstones, or from online sellers such as Amazon.
The book presents a short, accessible introduction to the myriad ways in which psychology can help us to understand and appreciate visual art. It explores how we perceive everything from colours to contours, and examines art-making as a form of human behaviour that stretches back throughout history as a source of inspiration, pleasure and social interaction. It also considers how factors such as fakery, reproduction technology and sexism impact on our judgements about visual art.
