New study reveals that abstract art has qualities that help one put aside the minutiae of their daily life. FMTNews FMTLifestyle Art Psychology

Researchers have found that abstract art is evocative of greater psychological distance than representational paintings, as it shifts one’s cognitive state away from concrete details.

Researchers at Columbia University have found that abstract art is evocative of greater psychological distance than representational paintings, as it shifts our cognitive state away from concrete details. In an effort to evaluate the correlation between psychological distance and abstraction, researchers gave them the opportunity to display the work “tomorrow” or “in a year,” as well as in a gallery “around the corner” or “in another state.”

While these results might come as a surprise, researcher Daphna Shohamy notes that we tend to think of psychologically distant moments in terms of concepts rather than details.
