- Ernst Gombrich was the author of many works of cultural history and art history, most notably The Story of Art, a book widely regarded as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts, and Art and Illusion, a major work in the psychology of perception that influenced thinkers as diverse as Carlo Ginzburg, Nelson Goodman, Umberto Eco, Thomas Kuhn and David Summers.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
