There's nothing wrong with staring at a work of art. Quite the contrary: it's the least you can do. Stop. Breathe. Relax. Don't think, just look, let it in. Take in your surroundings, feel the space in front of you, clear your mind, let your inner monologue fade into the background, and let your eyes adjust. When was the last time you allowed yourself that? As an art critic by profession, my job is to dissect beauty and discuss depth, but even I have to force myself not to rush to conclusions.
