46) Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image
This image, while not actually moving, portrays motion by capturing the figure at different stages of his jump. The viewer connects the images logically to recognize the motion implied.
45) Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline
The execution of this image creates a feeling of motion for the viewer. The artist purposefully made the edges of the subjects unclear and indistinct. By using this technique, the artist conveys the movement that a herd of large animals would make in the natural environment on paper.
44) Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure
This image shows the same moving figure in multiple frames, capturing their progression from one position to the next. In each individual image, the figure appears stationary. However, by combining the series of shots, the illusion of motion is created as the viewer connects each frame.
43) Anticipated Motion
Each of these images, while not physically moving, has an expectation of movement. The space between the droplet and the water's surface creates a tension for the viewer, who is anticipating its fall. In the second image, the figure's limbs seem to be on the verge of moving, if only they were not two-dimensional. The lines of the limbs create this anticipation.
42) Spatial Puzzles (Equivocal Space)
This image makes use of transparency to confuse the viewer's perception of depth. When you can see through an object, it's harder to clearly define its location in space relative to those around it. The different layers are difficult for the eye to make out.
41) Multiple Perspective
Picasso's Portrait of a Sitting Woman clearly demonstrates the use of multiple perspectives. The artist combines portions of images of the subject's face from both frontal and profile views to create a disjointed portrait. It is this combination of different visual perspectives that give Picasso his distinctive style and lend to his conceptual, rather than realistic, work.
