Abstract
Abstract Realistic representation has been one of the avowed goals of Western art for millennia. Moreover, realism has always been and continues to be a popular value in the pictures that are produced for mass consumption. There have repeatedly been significant departures from this goal, however, and it has not been even a discernible purpose of modern painting for most of the past century. In pursuit of realistic representation, artists have investigated the nature of light and pigments, the laws of optics, the physical structures that are to be represented (e.g., anatomy and botany), and the psychology of visual perception. There is therefore a rich set of problems that are shared by the perception psychologist and the studious or innovative artist.
