TAKING LONGER THAN 11 SECONDS.

TAKING LONGER THAN 11 SECONDS.I was surprised that people on average look at the Mona Lisa for only 11 seconds.. In this post on LEGOS AND CONCEPTUAL ART, I said: “A lot of conceptual art bears only a few moments of looking. If you watch people at an exhibit of conceptual art, they will glance at a work for a few moments, take in the concept and move on.” However, as I acknowledged in this post, I like to spend a lot of time looking at only one or two paintings in each room I visit, and it seems to me that there are a lot of other people who linger over art. I guess there are also a lot of people who look at the Mona Lisa the way they look at conceptual art.
