Inner Vision1999

An Exploration of Art and the Brain

Semir Zeki

About this book

"Inner Vision is the first attempt to relate art to the way in which the visual brain functions. Using a range of examples from artists including Michaelangelo, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Magritte, Malevich, and Picasso, Semir Zeki takes the reader on an aesthetic tour of the brain. He describes in compelling detail how different areas of the brain respond to elements of the visual arts such as colour, form, line, and motion, and argues that our experience of art relates strongly to how the brain works."--Jacket.
