Re-imaging Visual Framing
Hello friends and welcome back to Rush Delivery. In today’s blog I have selected an image by the artist Roy Lichtenstein after looking through many other works by him as well as other famous artists. I then cropped it a bit and will discuss some the differences between the two.
To begin I originally liked the image I selected because it has an extreme close up shot that creates a lot of visual intensity between the two subjects. There is also some great perceived lines that you get from the male giving the female a strange look out of the corner of his eye.
When it came time to reframe the image I chose to clip out the girl and focus strictly on the male of the photo. Just the image of him gives off a strong tension leaving you waiting for the release half of things. There is also a nice visual framing of the man created by the front windshield, although the diagonal streaks on the windshield may make you want to look elsewhere in the picture the speed lines on the outside of the vehicle draw your attention right back to the gentleman.
When Mr. Lichtenstein had drawn the image for the first time you can tell he was aiming for a certain text and subtext between the characters. There’s clearly some type of conflict going on between them possibly because they are a couple or maybe the man has kidnapped the girl because she looks quite angry. Roy also used a nice contrast in choosing the colors of his characters making the woman wear yellow and the man blue with the background of the red car. All these different selections come from opposite ends of the color wheel making for a very active picture to go along with the inferred emotions at play.
