[edit] Beginning

Sounds like a good beginning, but is there a way to categorize the different approaches?Wolfensberger 22:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] van Gogh?

I like the van Gogh, but donl;t know why it is there apart from the fact that he was a messed up character. More appropriate would be an art work by someone who atcually claimed to be using psychologyBrosi 14:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC), like Gabo or Kandinsky.

Also possibly Salvador Dali (Sigmund Freud) and Pollock (C.G. Jung). Scribblesinmindscapes 21:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

This article does not take into account the so called "experimental aesthetics". It does not mention the efforts of Gustav Theodor Fechner, one of the first empirisists in psychology, to introduce both the experimental method and aesthetics in psychology.

In addition, while it does take into account environmental psychology etc. it does not mention the effects of Berlyne's theory in experimental aesthetics today. Areas, such as clinical psychology, product design, marketing, environmental psychology, biological psychology etc. were greatly affected via Berlyne's theory. He himself preffered to call the area exprimental aesthetics rather than psychology of art.

Could I be wrong? I never come accross the term psychology of art before.
