1. Gombrich’s “the beholder’s share”
By Deana Loraine Rogers

2. Sir Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich

3. Definition
The Beholder’s share turns out to be a vital component of Gombrich’s Theory, because representation is no longer conceived as depicting a given object but stands for performance, and this process becomes tangible only through the beholder’s realization.

4. What do you think it is?

5. Part of the Theory is to have people think of what it is, and to be drawn in. He knew it was more then what he thought when he was painting it, he had the beholder in mind. He wanted people to perceive what they wanted to think.
