Project: What happened to nature?
A new book on the influence on art of our ability to perceive depending on the different cultural environments we grow up in, sounds fascinating, Neuroarthistory: From Aristotle and Pliny to Baxandall and Zeki by John Onians.
I haven't read the book but I did hear the interview with the author.
The idea that perspective was developed in Florence because they had lots of large stone course 'Roman' buildings, all with parallel lines disappearing into a vanishing point and that this architecture also meant there was a ready market for works with such perspective is fascinating.
That's one example of the thesis in the book.
