Most museum-goers would say that the artwork they
are looking at is impressive or interesting, but
they would not usually be able to tell you why
they think so. This is because, even though they
hold that different pieces of work are equally
beautiful, it is not often that the inexperienced
eye would truly realize exactly what makes each
work unique. Some of these factors include the
period in which the work was done, the techniques
used, and the overall emotion that the work
displays. Even thou...
