Reply to comment by OzTheMalefic in You might like paintings more if you stop to read the gallery labels - people high in openness, and those with limited art experience, liked paintings more after reading information about the artist and their technique. by Litvi

It's really badly worded alright. One gallery sticker might say "untitled" - Artist Name. Under that though there's another sticker detailing info about the artist, the medium, process etc. It's often why artists sell pieces the day they have a showing - the artist is there to meet and greet and explain their work (albeit some like to give no info about it and leave it up to the viewer to interpret the work and draw their own conclusions)

“High openness”’is clumsy, imo.

These studies make me chuckle - yeah, more info does help me understand better. Haha. No, I didn’t read the article based on the title.
