Understanding how we understand pictures

the Marr-Jackendoff theory

René van Hezewijk

pp. 195-210

Abstrakt

Psychological theories of perceptual and visual structure should be able to explain how persons saw and understood pictures in the past. The Marr-Jackendoff theory of visual and conceptual structure can be regarded as a candidate. From this theory restrictions on pictorization styles can be inferred. The explanatory content of the Marr-Jackendoff theory for pictorizations from different and past cultures, is demonstrated by explaining pointillistic style, western figurative style, Japanese style, Egyptian style, Chinese style and West-coast Indian styles of pictorization.
