I am also grateful to Mic Spencer, for his remarks on an early draft of Chapter 2, and Kevin Dawe, for his helpful commentary during the formative stages of the thesis. I am indebted to my Master's supervisor, Fred Orton, for making me think harder and longer, not just about artworks but about everything, and without whose insight and vigour I might never have been able to start this thesis, never mind finish it. I would like to acknowledge the University of Reading Department of Psychology, for providing me with a workspace away from the distractions of home, sunny weather, and Wikipedia. I am especially thankful to the staff and post-grads who, during our daily lunchtime gatherings, provided much-needed relief from the stresses of writing up.
