Do artists see the world differently?

1 Answer
Do artists see the world differently?
Yes, artists do seem to see the world differently. Science has even confirmed it. Studies have shown that successful artists tend to focus on their entire field of vision rather than on the individual objects that fill it. Researchers speculate that this may give artists the unique ability to notice shadows and contrasts that other people are unlikely to perceive. Explore a wide range of fine art on 1stDibs.
