There's just *something* about this painting. We've found that visitors using The Art Rate Monitor spend a lot of time with it, and it both spikes and lowers people's heart rates.
You only have until Dec. 9 to try The Art Rate Monitor and see how your 🖤reacts to the art.

There's an interesting show of images opening at @agotoronto.bsky.social this week.

Each participant chose a photograph in response to the last-an exercise inspired by the Surrealists' "exquisite corpse" game. Unfolding image by image, this selection offers a living portrait of the AGO's collection
