Sir Ernst Gombrich
The Beholder’s ShareSlide2
Born March 30, 1909
Died November 3, 2001
Two of his major publications are The Story of Art, first published in 1950 and Art and Illusion published in 1960
Sir Ernst Hans Josef GombrichSlide3
Gombrich calls ‘the beholders
share
,’ that part of a picture or work of art that is dependent on the viewers background, experience and memory. In addition, the first viewer or beholder, is the original artist and their background, experience and memory will be part of the final piece. The Beholder’s ShareSlide4
Why do people from different parts of the world view the same image differently?
Why do different people shoot the same picture differently?
The Beholder’s ShareSlide5
The Beholder’s Share
Gombrich
states that knowledge, memory
and experiences add onto what see or hear
Gombrich
states
that both
the artist and viewer are
equally important in the creation of
meaning for the workSlide6
Gombrich leaves me realizing that a picture is only just that without a viewer. The photographer may have caputred an event or beautiful scene but without the viewer to bring their contribution there is no meaning to the work.
