I focus on the question of why we are attracted to abstract art perhaps more accurately nonrepresentational or object free art.There have three things why our brain reacts and attract for abstract art 1/ the brain effort to analyze the pictorial contentment and style. 2/ the floor of associations evoked by it. 3/the emotional response it generates. After elaborating on the processing Of visual art in general and abstract art in particular, I asked myself and I found in psychology as in neuroscience and behavioral studies related to abstract art, abstract art can stimulate the higher level areas Of the brain responsible for creativity and imagination.it should be noted that many of the brain imaging studies on art rely on reverse inference that is to say that an activation of a particular brain area is used as indication for the engagement of that brains area in particular cognitive process. Whereas activity of a particular brain area during a specific cognitive process imply the involvement Of that area in the that cognitive function the reverse proposition needs a wider support via high selectivity Of the response Of that particular brain area, or increase in prior probability Of the particular cognitive process. I conclude with several speculation concerning our apparent appeal to this particular type Of art.i found that abstract art frees our brain from the dominance Of reality, enabling it to flow within its inner states, create new emotional and cognitive associations, and activate brain state that are otherwise harder to access, This process is apparently rewarding as it enables the exploration Of yet undiscovered inner territories Of the brain, Abstract art, neurasthenics correlates Of art, artistic preference, art and associations.
