Make an Impression: Leave Something to the Imagination
Posted in Arts, Behavior, Less is More, Paradox
Of all the types of painting, I most enjoy the impressionist artists. According to this fascinating article, I'm not alone. Many other people, ages 13 to 90, also enjoy impressionist paintings. The reason? The blurry images leave something to our imagination. In essence, we can create our own interpretation. It's a wonderful metaphor for the idea that "less is more" or, alternatively, that sometimes imperfection trumps perfection.
