When we walk through museums, visit exhibitions and look at art, we come with preconceptions, prejudices and preferences, and, if you are an artist, take from those works ideas and processes we could use as our own. Much of the time we come away with our opinions affirmed, pushed to reconsider an artist's work, or just excited to get back into the studio.
