Reductionism in Art and Brain Science: Bridging the Two Cultures

This book by Eric R.

Kandel, a renowned neuroscientist, offers a unique perspective on the relationship between art and science.

Through reductionism - breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable parts - Kandel demonstrates how science can inform our understanding of great works of art.

He draws on his Nobel Prize-winning research to shed light on the mental processes of higher animals, and shows how modern artists use reductionism in their work.

This book will help you appreciate and understand great works of art like never before!
