"Sharp and original, this book should alter how readers look at the world. " —Kirkus
“This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book will make you see the world more clearly than you ever have before. And that clarity will transform how you deal with the challenges and opportunities you face every day.” — Leonard Mlodinow, author of Subliminal and The Drunkard’s Walk
How could looking at Monet’s water lily paintings help save a company millions? How can noticing people’s footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your children, or catch a thief?
In her celebrated seminar, The Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence,” a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use effectively. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day.�
“Herman offers a compelling case for the life-enhancing value—and central importance—of careful observation . . . Visual Intelligence is a fascinating book and an important one—and it is a great read.” — Daniel Weiss, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art�

Review
In converting her lectures to this fascinating book,�Herman�convincingly argues that closely analyzing works of art is an empowering exercise that translates to seeing the 'hidden' clues in many real-life scenarios. Perhaps most compelling are the author's descriptions of actual crime scenes that were only solved because someone noticed the right detail—a pair of inside-out pants, a whirling ceiling fan—when most people missed it. Yet despite her expert clientele,�Herman�amply demonstrates that tapping into an inner Sherlock Holmes isn't only a skill for investigators and that heightened observation is critical to communicating effectively, empathizing with others, and making informed decisions. With practice, she argues, everyone has an innate "visual intelligence" waiting to be refined. Sharp and original, this book should alter how readers look at the world."

“Amy Herman has transformed the way I look at art -- and at the world. She shows us when to trust our instincts as observers and when to recognize that our instincts have gone astray. So much wisdom flows from those lessons, which are set forth clearly and convincingly in this book.”
—Professor Ari L. Goldman, Columbia University, author of The Search for God at Harvard and The Late Starters Orchestra.

Within these pages Herman teaches us how to be active and attentive observers, both within the confines of an art museum and well beyond.

“Whether you are a seasoned criminal investigator or a medical professional, Amy Herman's Visual Intelligence is a must read. She engages us all to see more objectively, analyze intelligently and to articulate in greater detail. It will guide you to be a more critical observer of what is before you without making those inadvertent assumptions that may sabotage your work.”
—John J Sprague, Inspector, Commanding Officer, Force Investigation Division, NYPD

Training Your Observation Through Looking At Art
By Dr. Cathy Goodwin
The first time I visited the National Gallery in London, I went on a docent tour. The docents weren't volunteers: they were art students and teachers who really knew their stuff, and I believe they were paid. That's where I learned to look at art.
The guides didn't try to cover the whole museum. They spent lots of time with a single piece of art. Many of them began with the question, "What do you see?"
Since then I've been back many times and each time I appreciated what the guides were doing. And when I go to a museum myself, I don't dash through in a frenzy. I've spent lots of time - not hours, but close - with objects that particularly engaged or puzzled me. And I do the same with historical and archeological museums.
So I had some idea where Amy Herman was coming from. She takes it to another level and she asks different questions. An art guide will ask about the artist's intention. Why did the artist choose these colors? Where does our eye go? Why is this object in the center of the painting - does the artist believe it's important?
Amy encourages us to look at details, to notice the traces of wine in a glass and remember how many objects were on a table. She encourages the reader to look - really look - at a work of art to increase your powers of observation. The idea is that after studying works of art, you'll take those powers of observation to real life. She cites dozens of examples of groups of people who increased their skills after taking her courses.
As a reviewer with an advance reading copy, I had trouble going through the exercises. The art works will be in 4-color reproductive form in the final published work; reviewers get grainy black and white. So to test the exercises, I took out my trusty iPad and looked up the works online. Of course this action conflicted with Amy's directive to ignore the artist and title: I had to use those signifiers to locate the works online! Still, I found the exercises enjoyable. And I realized my observation skills could be sharpened with practice.
What's not clear is how these exercises will translate into real life based on a book rather than a class. I've always liked the fact that art can be studied because it doesn't move or change; if you're analyzing music, you have to be able to catch what's playing in real time. In life, the things you observe tend to move and morph while you're watching. And it's difficult to look closely at a work in a book, as compared to a museum when you've got the original on the wall.
It's also frustrating to be working through these exercises alone, as compared to a group. Often when I've looked at a painting (and i tend to spend more time with painting than sculpture) I come away with an awareness - a story line that makes sense. But I also feel like a mystery reader who's left with loose ends, because there's no way to verify my own observations. With the Internet, you can often find detailed commentaries on well-known artworks, but even then your questions don't always get answered.
The author's writing style is engaging. I enjoyed reading the book and plan to dip into the exercises periodically. And, of course, I'm planning more museum visits to hone my skills even more.

Highly Recommended
By William D. Hooper
Lawyer/Art Historian/Teacher Amy Herman’s book is important. Why? Because it can sharpen your thinking skills, and improve the quality of your decisions.
How? By showing you with 70+ artworks in 11 chapters how to more objectively observe and assess visual and other sensory information, and how to precisely communicate about it. Then, how to make better decisions using this more objective information, while factoring in both what is unknown and what you wish you knew about a situation.
Ms. Herman’s book will enhance the performance of high school, college and graduate school students. In my view, it should be required reading. I say this as an engineer, businessman, and graduate in art and aesthetics. It is also very useful to professionals who depend especially on their visual skills to make decisions – often in a split second involving life and death.
I have also read some of the criticisms of the book. For instance, yes, the pictures are small. But, they are large enough to make the needed points. And, if necessary, one can easily reference a larger image of a cited artwork on the internet.
Again, I highly recommend Visual Intelligence. There is a lot of value for the dollar in this book.

the good: it teaches you how to be more observant
By Amazon Customer
the good: it teaches you how to be more observant, how to look at the same scene from different angles, and different points of view ( " walk in their shoes"). i, myself, am already trained in this, albeit i did pick up tips & pointers along the way. for for untrained eye, it's well worth the time. the bad: the author toots her own horn a little too often. also, while using museum quality art to make her point and show us things we may have never been aware of, the actual pictures in the book are just too darn small! they should at least take up half the page, if not a full, single page. i can only attribute this to the the publisher, who would have had to use more pages, ergo, more money to produce the same book. one more thing, the white dust jacket isn't glossy, so every smudge & fingerprint become permanent. don't say "goodbye", just say " see ya later".
