In this the first of a series of meetings we intend to bring together clinicians and vision scientists to discuss the influence that visual disorders, normal brain function and psychophysical phenomena have on the generation and appreciation of visual art. The meetings will be of interest to vision scientists, ophthalmologists, neurologists and all who practise and appreciate the arts of painting and drawing.
