Nice quote.  That is the book I was referring to alright.  It's cool 
that you pursued it.  It's a book I return to from time to time.  One of 
the starting points for the discussion in the book is: why is it that 
the trees in highly realistic 17th or 18th century paintings look like 
feather dusters to us?  He proceeds from there to describe how children 
actually learn to draw by learning to repeat set formulae for different 
subjects and takes it from there.
