August 30, 2012 - Gestalt


Gestalt was very unique in his artworks, and he is probably one of my favorite artists to study. The ways in which he uses several different principles in his artwork is quite remarkable. Above, the panda represents a Gestalt principle because of the unity of the photograph. The black parts are simply shapes that are brought together to from the structure of a panda around the white background; however, there is really no definition of a panda there. It is simply our brain that fuses the two together into one picture.
