The new Impressionists: “John Kennedy, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, is busy showing

that paying close attention to the blind may tell us a whole lot about art, after all.

make and understand pictures in ways that no one had imagined. And that fact forces us

to rethink many of our preconceptions about representational art in general.”
