I came across this work while researching Gestalt theory. I have seen many other paintings, but as someone who was born and raised in the countryside, I was drawn to the scenery in this painting. What I like about this painting is that the same scenery is contrasted between day and night on the left and right, and I was fascinated by the way the geese flying in the sky fly from day to night and from night to day. I am also drawn to the way the shape of the fields on the ground gradually changes into the shape of the geese. Looking at the cityscape below, I am impressed by the realistic, monotone landscape, but I do not feel any discomfort in the way the unrealistic fields blend into the shape of the geese, and am rather impressed by how beautiful it is. I decided to introduce this painting because of the strange experience I had observing it.
|
|---|
| I feel that many of the Gestalt theories apply to this painting. First, from the perspective of the Principle of Similarity, the outline of the field gradually changes into the outline of a goose, allowing us to recognize it as a goose. Next, from the perspective of the Principle of Closure, we can see the silhouettes of black geese in a continuous flock of white geese, and the silhouettes of white geese in a flock of black geese. |

| Title : "Café Terrace at Night" |
|---|
| Artist : Vincent van Gogh |
|---|
| Size :81.0 cm × 65.5 cm (31.9 in × 25.8 in) |
|---|
| I
love the contrast between yellow and blue. It evokes images of the
night sky and stars, yin and yang, extroverts and introverts, and as
someone who has had extreme mood swings since childhood, I feel a
certain familiarity with this color scheme, so I like it. For that
reason, I chose this piece, which clearly expresses the contrast between
yellow and blue. |
|---|
I
don't like complicated art that combines many colors, and in that
respect, this painting is broadly divided into three colors: yellow,
blue, and black. However, that doesn't mean that there is no detail in
this painting. While the sky, which should be truly dark, is expressed
in blue, the shadows in the corners of the building are expressed in
black, and from the perspective of the historical background, the light
placed in the center of the painting is a so-called gas lamp, which was
commonly used in this era and whose light was said to be very bright on a
dark night. I love this painting because it conveys many messages and
expressions even though it is not a realistic painting.
|
|---|
The
cafeteria emits light that is bright enough to illuminate the terrace
and the street beyond. This expression of light is juxtaposed with the
silence of the city at night, expressing the contrast between light and
darkness, bustle and silence.

| Title : "Girl with Balloon" |
|---|
| Size : 30.0cm × 30.0 cm (11.8 in × 11.8 in) |
|---|
|

This painting is my favorite piece of art that I can think of that expresses emphasis. The artist who painted this is Banksy, and his face and identity are unknown, but I was moved by the way he suddenly appeared and left a painting behind. His paintings are basically painted with spray paint, and he often adds a single point of bright color to monochrome paintings. This art is simple yet somehow memorable, so I would like to introduce it here. To share one of his anecdotes, when this framed art, created in October 2018, was sold at auction, a shredder installed in the frame was activated and the bottom half of the painting was chopped up right there in the venue. This action further increased the value of the painting, and whether this action was a marketing move to increase the value or not, I am attracted to his style that overturns the conventional wisdom of art.

| The elements of harmony in this painting are easy to understand: the monochrome girl and the red heart balloon against the gray wall. In addition to the harmony created by the contrast of vivid colors, the image of the girl gazing at the balloon and the wind blowing away create a story-like expression of the balloon being something important. |

| Title : "The Last Supper" |
|---|
Artist : Leonardo da Vinci
|
|---|
| Size : 460 cm × 880 cm (181 in × 346 in) |

This painting is a wonderful piece of art in terms of balance, with its skillful use of space and perspective. When I first saw this painting, I was shocked, even as a child, to learn that it was made more than half a century ago. This is because it was so realistic that it could be mistaken for a photograph, and for some reason, it had a sense of depth, as if I was being sucked into the painting. For this reason, I thought that if anyone were to explain balance, this painting would be it.
|
|
|---|
| This
painting uses perspective to create a balanced look, with the face of
Jesus Christ at the center, creating a sense of spaciousness and depth
in the room symmetrically. |

| Title : "ASANOHA pattern" |
|---|
Year : 13th and 14th centuries
|
|---|
| Medium: Wood,cloth,Sculpture,etc. |
|---|
| This
is a traditional pattern commonly seen in Japan. It has been used as
decoration for clothing and buildings since ancient times. The shape is
based on the hemp leaf motif. In recent years, this pattern has been influenced by the anime "Demon Slayer" and has spread throughout the world along with other traditional Japanese motifs.I have often seen this expression in traditional Japanese festivals and in artwork, so I would like to introduce it as a repitition expression. |
|---|
| This pattern is made by connecting the tip of one hemp leaf to the base of another hemp leaf, creating a hexagonal pattern like this. |

| Title : "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" |
|---|
Artist : Hokusai Katsushika
|
|---|
| Size : 25.7 cm × 37.9 cm (10.1 in × 14.9 in) |
|---|
| Medium: Ukiyo-e, Woodprint |
|---|
|
|
|---|
| This is probably the most famous Japanese art. This painting is a work of art that gives the impression of a giant tsunami about to burst forth. What makes this painting so moving is the delicate touch used to depict the splashes and movement of the water. As a Japanese person, I also wanted to introduce this painting, so I chose it. |
|---|
|
|---|
| The lines of the waves create movement, while the mountains in the background and the boat on the waves emphasize the size of the waves, while the curve of the tips of the waves and the spray give a delicate touch to the movement of the waves. |
|---|
| Title : "Endless Harmony" |
|---|
Artist : Christian Lassen
|
|---|
| Size : 126 cm × 95 cm (49.5 in × 95.0 in) |
|---|
|
|---|
| Of all animals, I like dolphins and killer whales, and I think his paintings of living animals are better than any other paintings. For me, born in 2000, Lassen's paintings were an everyday sight. At the time, in Japan after the collapse of the bubble economy, Lassen's paintings were often auctioned off and celebrities would brag about their paintings on TV, so Lassen's paintings were that popular in Japan back then. Although you don't see them much these days, his paintings of happily swimming dolphins and killer whales are still beautiful, and his paintings with blue as the main color are soothing. For this reason, I thought I would introduce his paintings of the harmonious world of the sea and the unified creatures it depicts. |
|---|
| First of all, this painting is simple, with two dolphins swimming in the center and the surrounding scenery in harmonious blue, and the position of the light and the surrounding coral and seaweed are arranged to make them stand out. The sea world is expressed with the dolphins at the center. |
|---|
| Title : "imabari towel Japan" |
|---|
This
is the logo of the famous Japanese imabari towel. It was designed by
Kashiwa Sato, who has also created many other logos for Japanese
companies, including Uniqlo, all of which are simple, easy to
understand, and memorable.
|
|---|
The symbol conveys a message that the towels are made in Japan, with the Japanese flag mark conveying the fact that they are made in Japan, as well as the ocean, sky, and water that support the towels. Because all Japanese people know that this is a towel company, the color scheme and design are intended to convey Japaneseness, tradition, and a sense of security. |
|---|
| Title : "Live Aid: The Global Jukebox (1985)" |
|---|
| Size : 61.0 cm × 91.0 cm (24.0 in × 36.0 in) |
|---|
| I chose this poster because I wanted to introduce my favorite posters from Ward and Image. I first learned about this poster from a live event that appeared in the movie "Qween Bohemian Rhapsody." This live event was a charity concert held to help African refugees, and many popular artists from around the world participated. It was an event that truly connected the world through music. I remember the poster design being cool as well. |
|---|
| This poster features the symbol of the African continent in the shape of a guitar with the words LIVE AID engraved on it. The poster also expresses the Earth, which represents the connection of the world, as a place where artists from all over the world gather, as the Global Jukebox, and I think this poster links words and images. |
