The Art of Looking at Art

I love looking at art but I also like looking at people looking at art, at viewer’s reactions to what they are seeing, reflected in their facial expressions and body language. It is another dimension of the art-viewing experience, one that often goes unnoticed except by keen-eyed photographers. Here are some snapshots that capture those spontaneous, precious moments.
