ABSTRACT
Traditionally in neuropsychology, before reaching any conclusions regarding cortical control of behavior, presence of sensory defi cits is interpreted fi rst. To infer the central infl uences on art, we need to explain and accommodate peripheral infl uences, those arising from sensory causes. Thus, alterations in visual acuity and color perception in either an artist or a viewer can arise from visual impairments in the eyes and interfere with how forms and colors are rendered (Ravin, 2008 ). The outcome of such changes needs to be considered in conjunction with other neuropsychological infl uences on art.
