Perspective on Understanding
Rolling Fields – digital painting / original prints – Dan Beck 2004
I’ve been working on a few different paintings at the same time. This is not one of them. But it is appropriate to feature today for two reasons. It does not follow the rules of how to achieve perspective, but it reads with perspective anyway – and I wrote about it before in conjunction with reasons for buying art.
Having any flat surface read as 3 dimensional is an illusion – the representation is an illusion – but perhaps no more so than what we perceived in the first place.
How often do we see something which doesn’t make sense and assume we have looked incorrectly? We make corrections based upon our understanding … and so it is with an original art piece like this.
Our understanding makes corrections to the perspective even though what we are seeing doesn’t really make visual sense.
I continue to like this piece because it feels like this land and feels good – I know where I am – even though it is not literally even close.
