Rudolf Arnheim, a pathbreaking psychologist of visual experience in the arts, died at the age of 102 in Ann Arbor, Michigan on June 9, 2007.

Roger Malina, Editor of the journal Leonardo, had this to say:

Arnheim was a giant in our community, a long time Leonardo Editorial Advisor and seminal figure bridging the era that saw film theory develop to the era of new media.

Arnheim was an honorary editor for the journal.
