I am in Paris walking through the aisles of the Louvre, looking at masterpieces prior to the 20 century. Many visitors are rushing from one place to another. They are taking a quick image of a painting and sending it to a friend via a mobile device ( sharing a moment).

I cannot help myself to think:
Most of this art, compared with those of the present time, are out of a time, when artists worked with complete focus; without allowing their mobile device to break their time of thought

Do we not need take our time to focus before sharing the incomplete? I believe this is worth to think of…
