Prof. József Gerevich: On the Carousel of Art Psychology
“On the Carousel of Art Psychology” offers a fresh art‑psychological perspective on how artworks are created and perceived, taking readers into studios, studies, music rooms, and film sets. Psychiatrist and writer Prof. József Gerevich distills four decades of practice into vivid, case‑led chapters that connect creators and audiences. Clear explanations and rich visuals make complex insights accessible without sacrificing rigor — an illustrated handbook for general readers, students, educators, and professionals interested in visual literacy and the psychology of images.
An illustrated handbook on The Psychology of Art
This handbook brings together four decades of experience in the Psychology of Art. Flipping through its pages, the reader is taken into the artist's studio, the writer's office, the composer's music room or onto the set of a film: and will have the opportunity to see from the inside what may be going on in the creator's thoughts and in his or her direct surroundings.
Hundreds of author's life stories and works come together on the colourful carousel of psychiatrist professor József Gerevich: they disappear and then reappear in new perspectives, all familiar and surprising at once.
As the cavalcade of artists and artworks unfolds, artist and spectator come closer together through the psychological deciphering of art. Breathtaking stories illuminate the remarkable, bizarre and sometimes surprisingly ordinary circumstances of each work's creation.
