Could we talk about art (drawn) vs. writing for a bit?
Something that I find slightly frustrating about writing is that people often lack the attention span to read.
With drawings or a painting you need only but to see the image for a moment to take it in. Of course the longer you look the more detail you may see, the more nuances you might uncover, but at the core you really only need 5-10 seconds.
My fiance says, "But does a drawing really stick with you like a book?" And I don't think so. Is that because the work is effectively done for us with a drawing? Nothing is left to the imagination with drawn art. Or is there more to it?

fuck off normie, no one cares
>But does a drawing really stick with you like a book?
I don't think so, because each is asking something of the audience that is fundamentally different from what the other asks. A passage from a book gives the reader context through the text both before and after the quote, while a painting leaves those dimensions of time completely nonexistent.

sequential art is a thing, but yeah, for the most part art really only shows you an instantiation, a moment in time
to my mind, art certainly can be on par with literature in terms of meaning, just in very different ways

actually, I think a picture takes you to places also.
there's an immediate drive to create context for this thing that you're looking at, so I think you start conceiving in your mind what actually did happen before and after what you're presented with
you tell yourself the story of the picture, i think in much the same way you try to picture what's happening in a story

Depends on the picture, though.
Here's an example that one could see beyond what's given. What is this place? Who are the people? What're they doing? What's happening here?

that looks like the setting for a really weird space opera, cloud atlas style

Absolutely agree. For this reason I believe literature is somewhat of a more worthwhile, more intellectual activity than drawn/painted art.
It's also because I fucking suck at drawing though

well, at least you know where you're coming from

Search the artist name (image title) on art station.

Art has a place. Sometimes the ability to convey an idea very quickly is of great benefit.
