Abstract

The article is dedicated to the figures of Alberto Argenton, Paolo Bozzi, Gaetano Kanizsa and Manfredo Massironi, psychology professors and artists, whose work constitutes a significant example of continuity between the cultures cultivated in their lives, with primary interest in perception. Outlining their scientific and artistic research, the article seeks to highlight a key value that permeates it and which appears vital to promote: learning to perceive reality.
