Our aim was to obtain a set of 120 stimuli equally divided into three complexity levels: low, intermediate, and high. of complexity on beauty ratings awarded to visual stimuli varying in abstraction representational non-artistic stimuli than for low complexity images of the same of the elements) when rating the complexity of abstract artistic stimuli, and of the different factors of complexity are related in different ways to beauty ratings. this limitation, our results suggest that complexity factors might influence beauty ./cache/work_4o7krgz3j5fqvdjt5gj3ltc5au.pdf ./txt/work_4o7krgz3j5fqvdjt5gj3ltc5au.txt
