I just came across the archives of a 2002 online conference on Art and Cognition. Nerdfest!!
"In our call for papers, we merely asked authors to reflect on whether the cognitive sciences could tell us anything of relevance about art; and vice versa, whether an analysis of artistic experience could tell us anything of particular interest about the brain."
I think this paper, Art as enaction, by Alva Noë is particularly good, along with the sidebar comment thread.
