Colin Martindale
Colin Martingdale (March 21, 1943 – November 16, 2008) was a professor of psychology at the University of Maine for 35 years.
He wrote and did research analyzing artistic processes. His most popular work was The Clockwork Muse (1990), in which he argued that all artistic development over time in written, visual and musical works was the result of a search for novelty.[1]
Martingdale was awarded the 1984 American Association for the Advancement of Science Prize for Behavioral Science Research.
