Art experts generally perceive, process, and appreciate artworks differently from non-experts. Here we explored whether animacy of the content prestige context matter to experts. Results (n > 1,000) suggest that are indeed swayed by cues when appreciating artworks. Furthermore, higher their expertise, less matters, point even a reversal among highest echelons.
