abstract in English:	Perception is a key to cognition because it provides basic information on which people construct mental representations of the world. It is also vital for creativity because the way people perceive things determines the way they think, reason, and solve problems. The role of perception in creative processes is reviewed according to such keywords as the creative organization of perception, physiognomic and allocentric perception, and visual thinking. Finally, the role of perception in art appreciation is discussed.
