The Power of the Center by Rudolf Arnheim

Using many examples, this title considers the factors that determine the overall organization of visual form in works of painting, sculpture, and architecture.
"Arnheim was a distinguished psychologist, philosopher and critic whose work explored the cognitive basis of art—how we interpret it and, by extension, the world"  * Cabinet *
"It is the balance between the precision of [Arnheim's] specific analyses and their participation in a larger order of principles that makes Power of the Center such a satisfying book."  * ARTnews *
Rudolf Arnheim (1904-2007) was Professor Emeritus of the Psychology of Art at Harvard University and the author of many books, including Film as Art and Visual Thinking.
