Reviews
The new edition of Neuropsychology of Art builds on the many strengths of the first edition by offering a comprehensive treatment of the biological bases of the creation and perception of art. The book should be of great interest to students and researchers seriously interested in empirical approaches to understanding the brain's role in creativity and art reception. - Oshin Vartanian, Department of Psychology, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada Neuropsychology of Art is a timeless, must-read text for all those who want to know more about the effects of brain damage on the expression of art - and by implication, the relationship between the expression of art and its representation within the brain. This book is a source of information and inspiration for scientists and clinicians working with brain-damaged individuals. - Nicky Edelstyn, Keele University, UK The decade since the first edition of Dahlia Zaidel's extraordinary book has seen major growth in the investigation of the neural basis of art. This second edition revises and updates the new findings. I strongly recommend it to all neuroscientists, scholars, clinicians, and lay readers. - Laura Piccardi, Universita dell'Aquila, Italy The updated edition of Zaidel's The Neuropsychology of Art gives the best, single overview of how various disturbances to the brain can inform our understanding of the role played by the brain in the human species' propensity for creating and experiencing art. By examining changes to perception, cognition, and emotion, Zaidel demonstrates that art behavior is the result of many brain systems, not a single art module . The Neuropsychology of Art was a seminal publication when it was first published, and remains a must-read cornerstone of the rapidly growing neuroaesthetics literature. - Martin Skov, Center for Decision Neuroscience, Copenhagen Business School, & Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Denmark
