Sermonette Commandment VI

Commandment VI: Thou shalt give every work of art the time it deserves.

People stroll through art museums and galleries glancing and chatting. Reading the text panels takes longer than looking at the art. The pace of the world too often determines the pace in the gallery.

Some art gives up all it has to say in a matter of seconds. Some art reveals itself in time and in layers in conversation with the viewer. Some art, through time and culture, never depletes itself.

Time with art is time with yourself. Give art the time its deserves.
