VISUAL EDUCATION AND BEYOND by Kurt Rowland [1976]

Looking & Seeing [London, 1976]. Paperback, 148pp, 18.5 x 24.5.

Visual Education and Beyond deals not only with the immediate issues of visual education but also with the wider horizons that this subject opens up: the place of visual education within general education, its function in encouraging creative responses in all spheres and its special importance in the fast-changing conditions of our age, when not only facts and ideas but the very values by which we live are constantly challenged. 

Kurt Rowland examines in particular the relationship between visual education and concept formation, and the issues of unconscious perception and non-conceptual thinking in the service of creativity. A series of experiments are described, as well as tests, which are the first tangible indications of the potential of visual education.

First edition bound in printed softcovers, with b/w illustrations throughout.
