ABSTRACT

Arnheim is a representative of gestalt psychology, and also an integrator of gestalt psychology and art. And artistic thought has multiple perspectives, such as philosophy, psychology, empirical science and aesthetics. It also reveals the lofty pursuit of the beauty of art, which has a methodological guiding significance for the current practice of art. At present, there are many research achievements on Arnheim's art theory, but the depth of his theory is still not enough. In view of this, this paper takes Arnheim's visual thinking as a new line of artistic thought to cut and expound, trying to grasp the essence of the artistic thought.
