Laura Messina Argenton and Tamara Prest, referring to a previous work addressed to the figures of Alberto Argenton, Paolo Bozzi, Gaetano Kanizsa, and Manfredo Massironi, highlight, in an article published in Gestalt Theory, n. 46, the potentialities offered by the scientific and artistic heritages of these scholars to combine science and art.
An exemplification of such potentialities is provided by a recent itenerant art exhibition dedicated to the four scholars and curated by Tiziano Agostini, Mauro Antonelli, Ivana Bianchi, Laura Messina Argenton, Tamara Prest e Ian Verstegen, the precise aim of which was to link some representational strategies they employed in their artistic works with phenomena studied in the fields of Psychology of perception and Psychology of art, of a Gestaltist matrix.
The description of the exhibition enables the Authors to make some considerations and proposals aimed at deepening the relations between the two domains, seen also in a cultural, formative and educational perspective.
