"Stool, Vase, and Palette", Georges Braque, 1939 |
"The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also." ~ Georges Braque
Space is an "Element of Art" that can be either the area around an object or the distance between objects in a work of art.
Space can be either positive or negative. Negative space is empty - nothing is there in the
artwork. Often negative space is the color of the paper (white space), but not always. Positive space is where the space is full - objects, buildings, people, shapes & etc. Positive space is usually added to the blank paper (black space or colored space).
The black space is positive and the white space is negative. |
