Ten years ago I took two of my daughters and a favorite niece to London/Paris for Christmas week. When we got to the Louvre the line was over two hours long. Being from NY we were not about to put up with that so we found a Louvre worker, young girl of @ 22, talked her up and were rewarded with directions to a virtually un-used entrance. We walked to it and found only two couples on line at the booth...both from NY.

Once inside my youngest stood in front of the Mona Lisa for a solid ten minutes. I was very impressed, thinking that the trip might be worth it. At last she turned, shook her head and said..."I don't get it."

It’s about art, not subjects or objects.

Once you figure that out it is very easy to deal with.

The subtleties are very evident in that very small portrait. And if your daughter had not been looking at art prior to going there her response is very understandable.

More work and development of a level of understanding is always required when trying to determine what art is.

Keep working on this as it is very important.
