[Sérgio Nascimento]

*Seeing colours in paintings – what can we learn from vision science*



*Workshop 25th September, 3 pm – 6 pm, AIC Lisbon 2018*

*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.
