Abstract

Conceptual information is central to the field of artistic photography. Nonetheless, there are very few studies on the matter. Therefore, we investigated whether artist's conceptual titles affected viewers’ interest in artistic photographs. Experiment 1 showed that adding artist's conceptual titles increased both the rated liking of and interest in the photographs, whereas adding a descriptive title had no effect. For Experiment 2 participants judged the pairing of photographs with artist-generated conceptual titles as more appropriate than plausible or random pairings, supporting the view that artist's conceptual titles are an essential part of the artwork. In Experiment 3, interest was assessed by asking participants to place adjustable-size frames anywhere on the photographs. Participants selected more interest areas on photographs accompanied by conceptual titles than on those unaccompanied by titles. These findings support the hypothesis that conceptual information provided by the artist's titles increases interest and liking in photographs.
概念性标题对艺术摄影审美的影响
概念信息是艺术摄影领域的核心。然而,关于这个问题的研究很少。因此,我们调查了艺术家的概念标题是否会影响观众对艺术照片的兴趣。实验1表明,添加艺术家的概念性标题增加了对照片的评级喜欢度和兴趣,而添加描述性标题则没有效果。在实验2中,参与者认为将照片与艺术家创作的概念性标题配对比合理的或随机的配对更合适,这支持了艺术家的概念性标题是艺术作品的重要组成部分的观点。在实验3中,通过要求参与者在照片的任何位置放置可调节大小的框架来评估兴趣。参与者对带有概念性标题的照片比那些没有标题的照片选择了更多感兴趣的领域。这些发现支持了一个假设,即艺术家的标题所提供的概念性信息会增加人们对照片的兴趣和喜爱。
