On Conceptualizing an Artistic Style: How Critical Are Examples?
Bengston, John K.; And Others
Studies in Art Education, v20 n1 p49-55 1978

Subjects were given discrimination tasks involving surrealistic and non-surrealistic paintings. The feature abstraction model proved inadequate in this instance. (SJL)
