| DESCRIPTION: Interest in children's
drawings is contemporary with the birth of modern psychology but as yet
there is no psychological theory that successfully accounts for the nature
of children's drawing. The two main theories - visual realism and intellectual
realism - fall short. The work of Georges-Henri Luquet is important because
it goes beyond both theories. Luquet's work, though important and of interest
to developmental psychologists, remains untranslated to date and so is
often inaccurately cited. This translation of the Le Dessin Enfantin makes
Luquet's ideas available to a wider readership for the first time. The
book is prefaced with an Introduction and notes by Alan Costall.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Geroges-Henri
Luquet (1876-1965) was with the Ecole Superieure des Hautes Etudes in Paris.
Alan Costall is Reader in Ecological Psychology at the University of Portsmouth
and Associate Editor of the British Journal of Psychology.
