 Wolfgang Metzger: Bibliography of English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish publications
A comprehensive bibliography of Wolfgang METZGER was published by Michael STADLER as an annex in:
Wolfgang Metzger's main argument, drawn from Gestalt theory, is that the objects we perceive in visual experience are not the objects themselves but perceptual effigies of those objects constructed by our brain according to natural rules.
Metzger's discussion of such topics as ambiguous figures, hidden forms, camouflage, shadows and depth, and three-dimensional representations in paintings will interest anyone working in the field of vision and perception, including psychologists, biologists, neurophysiologists, and researchers in computational vision--and artists, designers, and philosophers.

 Amazon.com: Laws of Seeing: Books: Wolfgang Metzger,Lothar Spillmann,Steven Lehar,M. Stromeyer,Michael Wertheimer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The "laws of seeing" are Gestalt laws, under the umbrella of the famous law of pragnanz, "which holds that stimuli organize themselves in the simplest, most symmetrical, and balanced manner." It anticipates a wide variety of phenomena (e.g., shape from shading) that were of great interest to later researchers.
Metzger's photos and illustrations are among the crowning achievements of this book, in that they capture essential aspects of the gestalt principles in ways that have, in some cases, been forgotten until now.
Metzger concludes with a certain bravado regarding the primacy of psychology, observation and perceptual science, which is heartening.

 CAN THE SUBJECT CREATE HIS WORLD? Wolfgang Metzger (1974)
In talking to younger psychologists, one finds that many of them seem to believe that perception is something at the surface of the mind, a kind of borderline problem, and that preoccupation with it is obsolete.
There is one more fundamental difference that was not yet known to HELMHOLTZ and KÖHLER: conscious inferential thinking becomes the more difficult the higher the complexity of the problem situation grows.
However, with the phenomena that HELMHOLTZ intended to explain by unconscious inference, this relation is exactly reversed: the more complex the situation, the more irresistible and unambiguous the effect (METZGER, 1934).
