Introspection
Looking inward at your own thoughts and feelings. In art, it shows people thinking deeply or being alone with their thoughts.
What is it?
Introspection means examining your own mind. In art, it is shown by people who look thoughtful, with their eyes down or looking away. The woman in "Head of a Woman" seems introspective—she is not looking at us, but inward. The blue colors and quiet mood help us feel her introspection.
Why it matters
Introspection helps us understand ourselves better. Art that shows introspection invites us to also think about our own feelings.
