MMArt为艺术理解提供多视角数据，突破单一描述局限。

Recent vision-language models demonstrate impressive general visual understanding, yet their art interpretation remains shallow: they describe surface content but struggle with formal analysis, grounded historical interpretation, or affective characterization. We argue this is not only a model but also a dataset limitation. Existing art datasets are single perspective resources, where no dataset provides narrative, formal, emotional, and historical perspectives simultaneously for the same artworks. We introduce MMArt, a large-scale dataset of 74,234 WikiArt paintings, each annotated with four independently annotated perspectives plus a harmonized unified caption, produced by specialized vision-language models or human annotation and validated through complementary quality evaluations. Two complementarity analyses establish that perspectives encode genuinely distinct information. A generative analysis shows that formal analysis descriptions best preserve compositional style, and historical descriptions carry strong affective signal in reconstructed images. A discriminative retrieval analysis reveals task-asymmetry: narrative descriptions drive retrieval (R@1 = 44.0%), while formal descriptions, strongest for reconstruction, are nearly nondiscriminative at retrieval scale (R@1 = 7.8%). Leave-one-out analysis further confirms that historical descriptions are the least replaceable perspective across both tasks. Together, the two analyses establish that no single perspective suffices for all tasks, directly motivating MMArt multi-perspective design.
