Synopsis
Rudolf Arnheim has been known, since the publication of his groundbreaking Art and Visual Perception in 1974, as an authority on the psychological interpretation of the visual arts. Two anniversary volumes celebrate the landmark anniversaries of his works in 2009. In The Power of the Center, Arnheim uses a wealth of examples to consider the factors that determine the overall organization of visual form in works of painting, sculpture, and architecture. The Dynamics of Architectural Form explores the unexpected perceptual consequences of architecture with Arnheim's customary clarity and precision.

".focuses on two fundamental spatial patterns whose interaction accounts for the structure of works of visual arts: the concentric or cosmic system, in which shapes are controlled by the power of an internal center; and the more terrestrial system of the Cartesian framework, in which a grid of verticals and horizontals organizes reponses to an external center of gravitational attraction. Using a wealth of examples, Arnheim shows how the complementary properties of these two systems enable visual design to represent the human experience symbolically in paintings, statues, or buildings.".
