This must be the way our brain works - connected centres are engaged together.
Absolutely - good art appeals to all the sense. I find that the art I truly love is the art that manages this - that gives me sounds, smells and feelings of sensation in addition to something beautiful to look at. One of my favourites in that aspect is Michaelangelo's Pieta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Michelangelo%27s_Pieta_5450_cropncleaned.jpg). It is one of the most beautiful sculptures I know. Now rationally I know it is marble and therefore cold, but emotionally I find myself thinking it is warm - like skin. It is very odd!
