Abstract

The Taste Test examined if people’s aesthetic preferences translate from one medium to another – specifically, if they prefer similar genres of fine-art photography as they do in painting.

A brief survey of demographic information and open-ended questions about artistic training and preferences was also used to analyze the data.
