Art and Visual Perception: A Psychology of the Creative Eye by Rudolf Arnheim, University of California Press, 1969 Paperback

It argues that artistic creation is a cognitive, structured process rather than a random act, showing how the human eye actively organizes visual material through principles like balance, shape, and space.
