  abstract = {Through evolution, the human visual system has developed the
              ability to process natural textures. However, in addition to
              natural textures, humans also visually process man-made textures -
              some of the richest and most compelling of which are in works of
              art. Art goes beyond what perceptual psychologists understand
              about visual perception and there remain fundamental lessons that
              we can learn from art and art history that we can apply to our
              visualization problems. This article describes and illustrates
              some of the visualization lessons we have learned from studying
              art. I believe that these examples also illustrate some of the
              potential benefits of further study. While this approach is more
              open-ended than a perceptual psychology approach, both approaches
              are worthy of pursuit, and the potential benefits of using the
              less structured approach outweigh any risk of failure.},
