This interdisciplinary study combines the neurobiology of vision and art history.

This can create some curious effects, for example, in equiliminant scenes, we lose a sense of position. Another phenomenon is that if the brightness is accurate, the colors can be dramatically altered, affecting the mood of a scene. Possible tasks and questions How do artists influence our vision by using the technique of “equiluminance”? Discuss the question in reference to three works of art.

They appear to enhance each other when they are juxtaposed. It a light is colored, often we sense the opposite of a color in the shadow. Artists make use of both of these aspects of “complementary colors” A few further definitions to help clarify terms used: Hue: It is what we think of when envisaging color. Primary colors: Red, Yellow, Blue. By the late 19c on, white and black were generally viewed as ‘non-colors’.

Detailed Paintings Can Seem Frozen in Time Webexhibits.org Chapters: Home Light, color and vision Color interactions: Simultaneous contrast Luminance and equiluminance Peripheral vision Museum shop About this exhibit www.webexhibits.org/colorart » Detailed Paintings Can Seem Frozen in Time Introduction 19th cent & before 20th & 21st cent Peripheral vision Mona Lisa 19th Century font size: a a a Detailed Paintings Can Seem Frozen in Time Nicolas Poussin’s Rape of the Sabine Women, 1634, depicts untold acts of savagery which are frozen in time. The painting does not depict the frenzied action that is occurring. When a scene is changing rapidly, it is impossible to register all the details. In contrast, the painting at right by Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) seems static, frozen in time. We can see every detail of the woman being savaged, yet the scene itself is quickly moving. There is an inherent conflict between what is conveyed and what is to be conveyed. What emerges from this example is the inability of a conventional two-dimensional image to convey movement. One way an artist can convey movement is ... http://www.webexhibits.org/colorart/bg.html · 6.6k |
