Rorschach number 3 - federico cortese

Rorschach number 3 by federico cortese Painting 25.6 x 19.7 :: An original piece from the series “Rorschach” oil on thick paper 65 x 50 cm. The Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach invented the famous inkblots to put into practice a therapeutic form in which a patient observing these apparently indefinite forms could create associations or interpretations from which the analysis of the psychological disorders can begin. Often my work is criticized because it is too defined too precise too detailed. This accuracy would take away any possible action to the imagination of the observer. This reasoning has always made me smile a little and each time reminds me of the Rorschach blots which in reality were not indefinite but on the contrary sharp and precise and allowed to generate associations only because these associations are already inside the mind of the patient or in general of the observer. The interpretation of a work is not made possible by its indeterminacy. It depends only on the culture of the viewer on the books he has read on the films he has seen on the paintings he has observed and this generates his ability to see cross-references between things. :: Type: Painting Medium: Oil Style: Abstract Subject: Abstract Width: 25.6 Height: 19.7 Depth: 0.1 Weight: 0.1 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
