 | | Furthermore, while at the university Rudolf studies Gestalt psychology because it related closely to his interests in the arts, in that, it deals "with the problem of wholeness, of filed processes, situations, in which the whole is entirely determined by its parts, and the other way around" (Arnheim, 1984, p.3). |
 | | At the university Rudolf is surrounded by the most distinguished and renowned figures of the century including physicists Albert Einstein and Max Pamong, and in the area of psychology, two of the founders of Gestalt psychology, Wolfgang Köhler and Max Wertheimer. |
 | | Rudolf's dissertation was devoted to the problem of expression in 1928 and Wertheimer devised "matching experiments to test his claim that the different aspects of one person, their handwriting and their artistic work shared a 'radix' and could be matched with success" (Verstegen, 13). |
