Two for Tuesday: Looking Together


Like this twosome, I found the graphic sculpture to be a piece of art both absorbing and beautiful. The bubbly glass, the spinning circles, that delicious yellowy copper nucleus with the face inside. There was a lot to see. But then, after a spell, I found this silhouetted couple looking at the art just as intriguing as the work itself.

Several photographers, including North Carolinian John Rosenthal, have created series based on people looking at art in museums. I suppose all art is predicated on the third dimension - the viewer - and to see the art interacting with that force brings it to life in a new way.
