A visual process of color constancy !

Monet: painted the catbedral of Albi 30 times at different moments of the day. From dawn till dusk. He saw all the different nuances of color. He was able to overcome the color constàcy of his brain. Most people would just see the face of the cathedral.

Most people think that they see what is, that they donot miss anything. They do not realize: they see what they hallucinate.

Experts focus on artwork’s style (naïves on contents)
Experts focus on context (naïves on their gut). We like art more when we understand it.

Art expert= art student, art historian, artist, professional, gallery owner etc…
Naïve = the Schmis, the novices
Experts prefer:
- abstract works (vs naïves prefer representational work)
- high art from museums (sentimental portraits)
- art is not there to please the crowds
- experts focus on background & rekationships of the objects, structure & composition (naïves focus on details eg hands, faces)
