[The author] explains how vision works. She tells us how great painters fool the brain: why Mona Lisa's smile seems so mysterious, Monet's Poppy Field appears to sway in the breeze, Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie blinks like the lights of Times Square, and Warhol's Electric Chair pulses with current. Drawing on history and her own cutting-edge discoveries, [the author] offers ... insights, from explanations of common optical illusions to speculations on the correlation of learning disabilities with artistic skill. Her ... theories are illustrated throughout with fine art and clear diagrams.-http://www.abramsbooks.com

Artists over the centuries have discovered fundamental principles about how we see. Over the last 100 years, science has illuminated some of these principles. The author discusses the neurobiological basis for some important artistic discoveries, including the elusive quality of Mona Lisa's smile, why Monet's poppies seem to sway in the breeze, why Mondrian's Brodway Boogie Woogie moves, and the jittery quality of Warhol's Electric Chair
