ALL TOO HUMAN — BACON, FREUD AND A CENTURY OF PAINTING LIFE
All Too Human — Tate Gallery, London
I took this photograph a few months ago at Tate Britain in the All Too Human: Bacon, Freud and a Century of Painting Life exhibition. I work in a gallery and see this all the time; people glued to their mobile/cell phones. I don't mean the casual look to check the time or a new text message but prolonged scrolling and viewing. It saddens me, especially in an art gallery where you should be observing great works in a meditative atmosphere.
Apparently, using smart phones diminishes thinking and focus so maybe we should be worried?
