Organizers: Sérgio Nascimento & Anya Hurlbert

 

Vision scientists have always had much to learn from visual art. Understanding why artists deploy particular configurations of colour and form and how particular paintings elicit aesthetic and cognitive responses gives valuable insight into how human vision works. Recently, precise quantitative studies of colours in paintings have revealed regularities that may have implications for their perceived beauty. Empirical studies have also shown that the spectral and spatial properties of lighting on paintings affects their aesthetic and emotional impact. This workshop will bring together vision scientists and museum specialists to discuss these issues and how their knowledge may be used to improve the viewer’s experience of art.
