DESCRIPTION:
The theory of geometry is developed from Leyton's fundamental laws of memory storage, and this book shows that these laws determine the structure of paintings. Therefore, the laws of memory storage allow the systematic and rigorous mapping not only of the compositional structure of a painting, but also of its emotional expression. Michael Leyton has developed new foundations for geometry in which shape is equivalent to memory storage. The argument is supported by detailed analyses of paintings by Picasso, Raphael, Cezanne, Gauguin, Modigliani, Ingres, De Kooning, Memling, Balthus and Holbein.. A principal argument of these foundations is that artworks are maximal memory stores. Furthermore, the book demonstrates that the emotion expressed by a painting is actually the memory extracted by the l
Genius Peter D. Bruza Michael Leyton is one of those rare, immensely gifted individuals who can make powerful impressions across multiple fields of endeavour. His insights transform how we think and open up totally new frontiers for exploration.Michael Leyton can perhaps best be characterized by his own intriguing equality "Shape = Memory". Proceeding . THE STRUCTURE OF PAINTINGS Is a revelation This book is fascinating! It views artistic creation through the lens of Leyton's theory of shape perception, focusing on masterpieces by Raphael, Ingres, Picasso, Holbein, Balthus and others. The analyses are deeply revealing--both of the paintings as well as of the directly felt meanings behind the formalism of Leyton's theory. . A unique read Michael Leyton's book, The Structure of Paintings, is a tour de force that deserves to become a classic and must-read for psychologists, cognitive scientists, graphic designers and, generally, any educated reader interested in compositional structure in the visual arts. In the past two decades, vision and object perception have be
