Wpływ figuratywności obrazu i zapoznania się z informacją katalogową na percepcję estetyczną malarstwa współczesnego przez ekspertów i laików
The Influence of Figurative Images and Catalogue Information on the Aesthetic Perception of Contemporary Painting Among Expert and Naïve Viewers

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to examine the aesthetic perception of figurative and abstract paintings by groups of naïve and experienced viewers with or without the knowledge of the information provided in the catalogue. The experiment was based on the theoretical concept of viewing the paintings from the perspective of form, content and axiology. The results of the research suggest that naïve viewers can find the reception of the formal level of contemporary art difficult. They are also inclined to experience difficulties in the interpretation of abstract paintings. This, however, can be facilitated by providing them with the catalogue description.
