The Science of Art
Found a link to a scientific lecture discussing art and how people or even animals may react to it. Some of it may seem to over analyze but the overall premise is interesting. The speaker suggests that "90% of the variance you see in art is driven by cultural diversity and only 10% by universal laws that are common to all brains. The culturally driven 90% is what most people already study - it's called art history. As a scientist what I am interested in is the 10% that is universal - not in the endless variations imposed by cultures.". It kind of suggests that people are born with a certain innate reaction to imagery much like instinct.
