Having just become a father I guess I am sensitive to all things 'baby' at the moment... research has shown that babies respond to high contrast images - this book, Art for Baby, features work by artists that include Damien Hirst, Julian Opie and Bridget Riley. Certainly my daughter has a fixation with my girlfriend's zebra print dressing gown!... so at first glance I would agree with the theory... I'm going to get a copy when it's released on 2nd October...
