A Study of Wolfflin's System for Characterizing Art.
Goude, Gunnar; Derefeldt, Gunilla
Studies in Art Education, v22 n3 p32-41 1981
The authors examined use of a bipolar scale containing ten descriptors of basic art concepts (e.g. "linear-painterly") identified by Heinrich Wolfflin for analyzing paintings. They found that both trained observers (art history students) and untrained observers (psychology students) could apply Wolfflin's concepts reliably to Renaissance and Baroque paintings. (Editor/SJL)
