As I said elsewhere in this thread, I think this probably just approximates a description of the neurobiology of vision, from the retina to the occipital cortex. For example, newborns prefer high contrast images, but I presume no-one would consider them to have any understanding of art. The same for things like red / green preferences, which are likely to have their roots in the red / green cones in the retina. I'd argue it's not just useless, but lacks any meaningful insight into art.
