> “You look at a painting,” Frank Lantz told the interviewer, “and you’re just absorbed.”
> We’re always looking. All day long we’re looking around, looking here, looking there, doing stuff. But then you stop and you look at a painting, and for a minute looking takes over. You’re no longer looking along with other things, you’re just—a hundred percent, your brain is all of sudden just a vision machine. You’re just looking at this thing. ...You fall into it, but then you also are able to lean back and think, “oh, that’s what looking is: that’s color, and shape, and form, and this is how my vision is structured... this is how looking works.”
Great lead in, unclear if the first breakout text block is a direct quote from Lantz but I love it.
