Author Description

How good are we at truly understanding what imagery does and doesn't grab our attention, and makes us care? This groundbreaking book tackles that question by using two unique scientific tools to provide objective, quantifiable seel/feel answers. First Blush is twice as large in scope as any study ever conducted before that links eye-tracking technology and world-class art. It also draws on facial coding to capture and identify people's quick, real-time emotional responses to 88 famous art works, across eras, from da Vinci and Rembrandt to the latest contemporary creations. "Art is either plagiarism or revolution," wrote Paul Gauguin. Welcome to revolution. You won't find another art book like First Blush anywhere else.
