Abstract
Human beings have a poorly understood ability to recognize patterns in their environment. Sometimes this ability is vital to survival. Sometimes it is the enabling ability that mediates the creation and maintenance of a culture. Thus we have art. But always this ability to organize the visual world of art remains largely a mystery that motivates our study both of art making and art looking.Citation
