PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This study investigated
1.the structure of aesthetic experience
2. the relationship of this structure and other dimensions of the subjective judgements of paintings.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The aesthetic experience is a unique and relatively independent phenomenon:
a) Internally, it is not dividable into componentsb) Externally, it is weakly correlated with the other subjective
dimensions of paintings perception.
2. The aesthetic experience is closer to the Arousal, than to the Hedonic tone and the other subjective dimensions of paintings
