MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE (50th anniversary edition, 2004): "Since its publication fifty years ago, this work has established itself as a classic. It casts the visual process in psychological terms and describes the creative way one's eye organizes visual material according to specific psychological premises. In 1974 this book was revised and expanded, and since then it has continued to burnish Rudolf Arnheim's reputation as a groundbreaking theoretician in the fields of art and psychology."

MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE (revised edition, 1974): "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 describes 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 historians, students, and general readers have found it a highly readable book. Now Arnheim has thoroughly revised and enlarged the text and adds new illustrations, taking advantage of recent developments in his own work and that of others."
