Cohesion Matters: Exploring the Impact of Accompanying Text on Responses to Art

EasyChair Preprint 3934

13 pagesDate: July 23, 2020

Abstract

Previous research has shown that accompanying text to artworks (e.g., titles) increases the preference for artworks. We further examined the influence of the presence and cohesion of artwork descriptions on aesthetic responses. We found that accompanying text increased appreciation and that the effect of cohesion depended on the viewer’s interest in art. Less interested viewers were more affected by cohesion than more interested viewers.

Keyphrases: art, coherence, cohesion, responses
