Plato, the Greek philosopher, tried to classify the art starting from his teaching about miming of reality. Most emphasis was on two categories of so called productive art: one that create reality – architecture and the other one that imitate reality – painting/visual art.
On top of that Leonardo da Vinci in his famous Trattato della Pitura, is saying that artist is nothing else then collector of “things” stolen from various sciences, in our case psychology and geography, and that is how fictional, creative, composition is made.
That bring us to the >psycho<geography> playground.
