In this study, the structure of the judgements of paintings was investigated. In the preliminary study, the subjects were asked to describe their subjective experience of paintings producing a list of attributes. The set of 76 most frequent attributes was selected and transformed into a bipolar 7-step scale (e.g. beautiful-ugly, strong-weak, interesting-boring etc). In the central part of the study, 200 subjects judged paintings on 76 scales. The paintings were grouped into two subgroups, A (200 paintings) and B (200 paintings). This part of the study was conducted in two steps. In the first step, 200 subjects judged one of the 200 paintings from the subgroup A (each painting was judged only by one subject), whereas in the second step the same 200 subjects judged 200 paintings from the subgroup B (each painting was judged only by one subject).. Two simple data matrices, A and B, and one complex matrix A + B (string out matrix: matrix B is continued under the matrix A) were obtained. The factor analyses (Promax and Orthoblique rotation) have shown the consistency of a four factor extraction for three matrices (A, B i A+B) using both rotation methods: Evaluation (clever, balanced, interesting, etc.), Potency (rich, dense, relaxing etc.), Cognitive factor (clear, ordinary, stimulative, etc.) and Dynamics (provoking, tense, creative)
