The Psychology of Art is published by Routledge as part of their Psychology of Everything series. You can buy a copy in bookstores such as Waterstones, or from online sellers such as Amazon.
The book presents a short, accessible introduction to the myriad ways in which psychology can help us understand and appreciate art. It explores how we perceive everything from colour to contour, and examines art-making as a form of human behaviour that stretches back throughout history as a source of inspiration, pleasure and conversation. It also considers how factors such as fakery, reproduction technology and sexism impact on our judgements about art.
