PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ARTISTIC IMAGERY IN THE LITERY TEXT: MOTOR HIERARCHIES AND SYSTEMIC INVERSIONS IN VISUAL ART

Abstract

The creation of visual art in the literary text is not merely a representational or symbolic act; it is a complex psychophysiological process reflecting the interplay of motor activity, perception, and symbolic cognition. This paper examines the structure of human motor activity in the context of artistic creation, applying Nikolai Bernstein’s hierarchical system of motor levels to the analysis of handmade visual works. Particular attention is given to systemic inversions within motor hierarchies, their role in shaping aesthetic and individualizing functions in art, and their manifestations across different artistic movements, from Impressionism to Hyperrealism and contemporary graffiti. The study highlights the relevance of integrating psychophysiological perspectives into art analysis, emphasizing that the traces of motor acts embedded in images are essential for understanding both the creative process and its perceptual impact.
