Well I did it. This has been an interesting thread. The description and analysis of the elements and principals, the components, helps to slow down the eye and the mind so that only the observed properties are focused upon.
Art history is put aside, the meaning is put aside, and what is there starts to emerge.
With something I don't understand or even like it helps to look at it long enough to get past my particular prejudgements. I also find with students when they start with a description, the interpretation has more depth. They can say more than I like it or I hate it. Well I did it.
