          Contemplating Beauty Boosts Abstract Thinking

          A new study finds that actively engaging with artistic beauty—rather than just looking at art—enhances abstract thinking and psychological distancing, helping people see the bigger picture beyond daily concerns. Participants who focused on rating the beauty of ceramic artworks scored significantly higher on cognitive tests measuring abstract thought than those who simply matched objects with line drawings.

          Viewing Art Boosts Wellbeing

          A new review of 38 studies confirms that simply viewing visual art can significantly enhance wellbeing, regardless of whether it's done in a gallery, hospital, or even virtually. The research highlights art’s impact on eudemonic wellbeing—a sense of meaning, personal growth, and purpose in life. From Van Gogh’s Starry Night to abstract modern installations, a wide range of art forms were shown to produce positive effects. The findings offer a compelling case for integrating art into mental health strategies as a low-cost, accessible tool to support emotional health.
