Episode 12: Ernst Gombrich
May 14, 1983

There is, however, a great deal more to drawing or painting than the simple 'copying' of a visual image on to paper or canvas. Sir Ernst Gombrich, author of Art and Illusion, has spent his life exploring the psychological processes which underlie the making of pictures.
