Emphasis Ch9

Emphasis Ch 9

So I didn't really like this chapter. It seemed like all the images were SO simple. I wondered if the only way to have emphasis was to only have a couple elements to a piece. You can't have emphasis without a piece being complex? I dunno, the point just didn't really get across to me. I was more confused by this than anything because to me, contrast and emphasis go together and I didn't really get that here. Anyway, I liked Muriel Castanis's Daphne on page 188 (a few of her sculptures are pictured above). I like how the emphasis is put on the draping of the clothing and to show figure. I thought it was interesting how the person wearing the clothes was actually left out entirely. Still not sure about the whole emphasis thing, but I thought it was an interesting and unique sculpture.
