What is the nature of the aesthetic experience? Is it possible to facilitate its occurrence? This book focuses on the psychology of the aesthetic experience and on the perception and understanding of art, suggesting ways to raise levels of visual literacy and enhance artistic enjoyment. The findings will be of importance not only to museum professionals and arts educators but also to psychologists and those interested in the nature of the aesthetic experience.
