Such A Small Thing Like OF COURSE You Would Want To Consider How Your Partner Feels About An Art Piece Before Buying It For Your Home - Tumblr Posts

Sometimes I think about a couple I saw at my local market one time, and how when I saw them both feeling and groping a vendors sculpture I was very confused (I was raised to think touching an art piece before you buy it is generally considered rude). I kept looking at them wondering why they would do that and even more, why the artist would let them do that until I noticed something. The man was blind. The vendor was letting him ‘see’ what their sculpture looked like. What I always end up thinking about is the woman with him, presumably his wife, and how she was closing her eyes to feel the sculpture with her hands. She was trying to see for herself how her partner saw the object.
