Psychological Implications of the History of Realistic Depiction: Ancient Greece, Renaissance Italy and CGI.
- Authors
Kozbelt, Aaron
- Abstract
Art historian Ernst Gombrich argued that learning to create convincing realistic depictions is a difficult, incremental process requiring the invention of numerous specific techniques to solve its many problems Gombrich's argument is elaborated here in a historical review of the evolution of realistic depiction in ancient Greek vase painting, Italian Renaissance painting and contemporary computer-generated imagery (CGI) in video games The order in which many problems of realism were solved in the three trajectories is strikingly similar, suggesting a common psychological explanation.
