Okay, so I don’t know if my blog really answers Ian’s question, but he says to take creative risks, so here it is! This image is probably one of my favorites; it is passionate, no doubt, but there is also a sense of peace that it exudes. When I ask myself why exactly it is peaceful and why exactly it is passionate, I cannot help to recognize the repetition of rectangles on the man’s clothing, and the repetition of little circles on the woman’s. Each one of these is, in fact, a simple shape, but their repetition creates a much more complex, even slightly hypnotic texture for each of the lovers in the piece. However, the idea of how these shapes play off one another, the smooth circles and the pointy rectangles creates a tension in the picture between the lovers that emanates passion in the piece.
