Walking around an art museum we can see how colours influence our aesthetic preferences: many great works of art would not be as impressive in grey scales. Is the beauty of colours in abstract paintings anchored to the spatial composition of the paintings, or can it be preserved even with random spatial arrangements? To test whether colour can have an independent contribution to aesthetic appreciation, we asked participants to select the preferred image among pairs of colour-manipulated versions of the same painting. We changed hue, but preserved lightness and saturation, by rotating the colour volume around the L* axis in CIELAB space. To test the influence of the spatial structure, the images of the paintings were presented: (1) in their original format, (2) spatially scrambled but preserving the colour composition, and (3) in a control condition with both colour and spatial scrambling. Relative preference as a function of hue angle was obtained for the four paintings in their original and modified forms.

For the original paintings, we found that participants generally preferred the colour angles that matched the original version of the paintings. Crucially, participants preferred the same colour distributions for spatially scrambled paintings as for the original paintings. For the control condition, there were no preferred colour configurations. This suggests that the aesthetic preference of colours in our abstract paintings is not anchored to particular spatial compositions, but is at least partly preserved even when the spatial composition is destroyed. Paintings thus can contain an aesthetic component that is exclusively related to colour.

色彩对绘画审美偏好的独立贡献

走在艺术博物馆里,我们可以看到颜色如何影响我们的审美偏好:许多伟大的艺术作品在灰度级别上不会那么令人印象深刻。抽象画中的色彩之美是锚定在画面的空间构成上,还是随机的空间排列也能保留下来?为了测试颜色是否可以对审美欣赏有独立的贡献,我们要求参与者在同一幅画的成对颜色处理版本中选择首选图像。我们通过在 CIELAB 空间中围绕 L* 轴旋转颜色体积来改变色调,但保留了亮度和饱和度。为了测试空间结构的影响,展示了这些绘画的图像:(1)以其原始格式,(2)在空间上打乱但保留色彩构成,(3)在同时具有颜色和空间加扰的控制条件下。对于原始和修改形式的四幅画,获得了作为色调角函数的相对偏好。

对于原画,我们发现参与者普遍更喜欢与原画相匹配的色彩角度。至关重要的是,参与者更喜欢空间混乱的绘画与原始绘画的颜色分布相同。对于控制条件,没有首选的颜色配置。这表明我们抽象绘画中对色彩的审美偏好并不锚定于特定的空间构图,但即使空间构图被破坏,也至少部分地保留了下来。因此,绘画可以包含与颜色完全相关的审美成分。
