Visual juxtaposition of color in American ceramics (peter pincus)

Abstract

Abstract

This research deals with the study of (the visual adjacency of color in American ceramics) (Peter Bienx) as a model. The research contains four chapters. The first chapter includes the research problem, which includes the following question: (What is the visual adjacency of color in the works of the potter Peter Bienx?) The aim of the research was to identify the visual adjacency of color in Peter Bienx's ceramics. The second chapter (the theoretical framework) includes two sections. The first is concerned with the study of color in science and art, while the second section deals with the visual adjacency of color and the structure of artistic composition. The third section deals with the technical treatments of color in American ceramics. The third chapter is concerned with the research procedures and sample analysis. The research community and sample, which numbered (3) ceramic works, included. The researcher relied on the descriptive (analytical) approach in analyzing the research sample and achieving its goal. Chapter Four includes the most important findings, including: - The visual juxtaposition of color in Peter Beunics' ceramics is based on the mechanism of color contrast that can be created by discordant, contrasting, or harmonious colors, by placing each color next to another color that is different from it in terms of temperature, intensity, or gradation of light value. As for the conclusions reached by the research: - The visual juxtaposition of color in American ceramic productions expresses subjective dimensions closely linked to his expressive needs and aesthetic aspirations. Color has become the means through which he activates his visions and personal experience, giving the ceramic works a contemporary character that reflects the potter's interaction with issues of self and surroundings simultaneously.
