Unlike music, film, dance or performance, painting exists as a static, complete object in space. Its experience is primarily spatial rather than temporal—the viewer controls the duration and sequence of looking. However, some contemporary theorists argue that painting can possess a temporal dimension through: the visible trace of time in its making (gesture, layers, drying marks)
the durational experience it demands from the viewer
narrative implication within the image itself
Still, in conventional classification, painting belongs to spatial arts, not time arts.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_art
