Taking a break from the videos a little bit, I am going to be talking about something I found last night. Now, I had come across this painfully clever illustration about a year ago and had posted it on my other blog that I run about a year ago as well. However, when I was going through my old blog last night, I happened to click on this photo which brought me to a whole gallery of artwork in this type of manner. The artist, Wilhelm Staehle, called it Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre. The things I like about this artwork is that it is very elegant, simple, original, and they are quite clever for that matter. I have never really thought of artwork like this which blocks the main subject of the art into a silhouette because it allows them to standout more while also allowing you to focus on the background instead of the character in more detail. It would seem as though the background plays a much more vital role in the task of setting the surrounding than the main subjects do, thus allowing the subjects to appear almost out of place even though they fit in perfectly. These designs are surprisingly comical, and yet they are something I might be willing to hang on my wall as actual art. At the very least, it is a breath of fresh air, which is always refreshing in the world of art.
