Day 7: Contrast and Emphasis

Contrast Man Ray, Gift, 1958
4
Contrast is the arrangement of opposite elements to create visual interest. Light vs. Dark Rough vs. Smooth Large vs. Small etc. Contrast can also be achieved through subject matter The title of this artwork, "The GIft", belies its content and presents a contrast between our idea of what a gift is and what this object represents. An iron, normally used to press clothing, is lined with tacks that would prevent normal use of the object. Man Ray offers us a visual pun and a Surrealist viewpoint of life

EMPHASIS Emphasis is a principle of art that occurs any time an element in an artwork is given dominance by the artist. In other words, the artist makes part of the artwork stand out in order to draw the viewer’s eye there first. This is also known as a focal point.
