This article aims at answering the question whether a contextual information in the form of audio description, providing details of a given piece of art and its author, has an influence upon the level of recognisability and understanding of the studied piece. In other words, how the information about a piece of art (or its lack) influences perception and aesthetic evaluation of an art piece.The article discusses a problem of aesthetic competence in the mind of a person blind from birth. The focus of the research concerns perception of an art piece on base of a tactile study of a bas-relief (a copy of Józef Chełmoński’s painting Storks).
