The Neurobiology of Painting Summary

The Neurobiology of Painting: International Review of Neurobiology: Volume 74 by Ronald J. Bradley (Louisiana State University Medical Center, School of Medicine, Baton Rouge, U.S.A.)

The book presents a basis for the interaction of the brain and nervous system with painting, music and literature, and a discussion of art from multiple facets - such as anatomy, migraine, illusion and evolutionary biology. The book explores several aspects of the neurobiology of painting, including evolutionary neurobiology, sensation vs. perception, the visual brain and how the mind works, and also explores the affects of brain disorders and trauma on artist, with a concluding chapter on Frida Kahlo and the spinal cord injury that influenced her painting.
