Antwoord

"Fechner was the first experimentalist to systematically study the aesthetic properties of the golden section. His first major treatise on the topic was Zür experimentalen Aesthetik (1871)."

"Fechner (1876) reported the results of experiments conducted with his methods. For some reason, many myths and half-truths have been promulgated concerning Fechner's exact procedure, and many criticisms have been advanced on the basis of these erroneous beliefs."
