Preferred term

aesthetic appreciation of pictures  

Definition(s)

  • Viewing visual art can be a dramatic, richly rewarding yet wholly personal event. In discussing the aesthetic appreciation of pictures within the bounds of perceptual research, an attempt is made to cross a significant chasm between a detailed cellular and cortical understanding of lower-level visual objective properties such as color and shape, and a less clear understanding of higher-level visual phenomenology or subjective experience.
