Abstract

Comment les peintres ont-ils représenté la transparence de l'eau, les couleurs du ciel, les ombres, les contours d'un corps à contre-jour... ? Autrement dit, comment rendre les mille apparences de la lumière sur les objets, les personnes et leurs environnements à l'aide d'un simple pinceau et de pigments, et sur un espace à deux dimensions, la toile ? Ce livre offre les réponses d'un scientifique à ces questions inhérentes à la représentation du réel. Si les civilisations anciennes choisirent d'éluder la question en s'attachant davantage à la signification rituelle ou symbolique des objets qu'à leurs apparences fugitives et changeantes, à partir de la Renaissance, les peintures relevèrent le défi de figurer l'infinie variété d'effets que la lumière peut donner au monde où nous vivons. Parallèlement à la mise en oeuvre de la perspective, ils s'ingénièrent à trouver les techniques picturales à même de rendre visible au spectateur les aspects de la lumière. Cette approche originale apporte un nouvel éclairage sur les oeuvres d'art que nous interprétons traditionnellement sous un angle historique. Ici, la science de la vision des couleurs nous aide à comprendre l'inventivité des artistes pour restituer la complexité physique du monde.

Abstract

Visual thinking and drawing are both becoming increasingly important in today's business settings. A picture really can tell a thousand words. Visualisation is a crucial part of the journey for companies seeking to boost enterprise agility, break down silos and increase employee and customer engageƠment. Visualising thought processes can help break down complex problems. It empowers teams and staff to build on one another's ideas, fosters collaboration, jump-starts co-creation and boosts innovation. This book will help brush aside misconceptions that may have prevented you using these techniques in your workplace. You don't need Van Gogh's artistic talent or Einstein's intelligence to harnass the power of visual thinking and make your company more successful.

Abstract

In Art and Representation, John Willats presents a radically new theory of pictures. To do this, he has developed a precise vocabulary for describing the representational systems in pictures: the ways in which artists, engineers, photographers, mapmakers, and children represent objects. His approach is derived from recent research in visual perception and artificial intelligence, and Willats begins by clarifying the key distinction between the marks in a picture and the features of the scene that these marks represent. The methods he uses are thus closer to those of a modern structural linguist or psycholinguist than to those of an art historian. Using over 150 illustrations, Willats analyzes the representational systems in pictures by artists from a wide variety of periods and cultures. He then relates these systems to the mental processes of picture production, and, displaying an impressive grasp of more than one scholarly discipline, shows how the Greek vase painters, Chinese painters, Giotto, icon painters, Picasso, Paul Klee, and David Hockney have put these systems to work.&#13;&#13;&#13;But this book is not only about what systems artists use but also about why artists from different periods and cultures have used such different systems, and why drawings by young children look so different from those by adults. Willats argues that the representational systems can serve many different functions beyond that of merely providing a convincing illusion. These include the use of anomalous pictorial devices such as inverted perspective, which may be used for expressive reasons or to distance the viewer from the depicted scene by drawing attention to the picture as a painted surface. Willats concludes that art historical changes, and the developmental changes in children's drawings, are not merely arbitrary, nor are they driven by evolutionary forces. Rather, they are determined by the different functions that the representational systems in pictures can serve.

Abstract

Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that increases theoretical understanding of human visual cognition. Studies may be concerned with any aspect of visual cognition such as perceptual organization; 0bject, face, and scene recognition; visual attention and search; short-term and long-term visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; dynamic vision; and visual imagery. The typical study will use behavioral methods, but papers reporting studies of alternative populations or based on methods such as neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, ERP, MEG) or modeling (computational or mathematical) that bear on visual cognition are also published.
