The author explores experimental aesthetics, neuroaesthetics, and cognitive psychology in depth, incisively pointing out problematic issues in each area related to processes underlying the creation and appreciation of contemporary art. A pleasure to read.'

Highly sophisticated in its handling of both psychology and art.' John Onians, University of East Anglia
