Features: The Psychology of the Audience is a "experiential argumentation-based" work that uses a vast amount of experiential insights from ancient and modern times to argue for the existence of this discipline, giving it structure, perspective, and examples. The biggest "experiment" in this book is a comprehensive survey of the mental records left by artists and art practitioners from around the world regarding audience psychology. Finding psychological justifications for artistic expression means that once the psychological basis is found, artistic expression also finds aesthetic self-awareness. The theoretical framework of this book can still be debated, but its artistic sensibility is trustworthy.
