Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to examine how men and women show similarities and differences in how they interpret works of art when the artwork is attributed to a male or female artist. Earlier research suggests than when adults view artwork attributed to a male, they value that artwork higher in terms of quality, aesthetics, importance, and monetary values than if they believe the artwork was produced by a female. The current set of paintings which will be judged consist of both abstract and modern paintings from the mid- and- late 20th century. We anticipate obtaining ratings for the aforementioned qualities by a total of 100 undergraduate students at the conclusion of the study.
