Hidden object

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A hidden object is a large image that shows a large number of different elements, characters and actions in one image.

Characteristic

Due to the simultaneity and the abundance of details, the eye, while looking at the small things, cannot simultaneously perceive the big picture of the composition. The visual overwhelming is central to the hidden object genre. Paradoxes of temporality can be represented on hidden objects, a partially unrelated juxtaposition and simultaneous succession of continuous representation and many actions frozen in the moment at the same time.

history

"Hidden object" as a term has established itself in art historical research.

It is generally assumed that the genre began in the 15th century with the paintings by Hieronymus Bosch , whose best-known hidden object is The Garden of Earthly Delights . Another work in this genre by Bosch is The Hay Wagon . Hidden object-like representations can be found in many epochs. The Trajan Column (1st century) can also be described as a hidden object.

The Ebstorf world map (around 1300) with its countless place names, pictorial representations and explanations represents an encyclopedic hidden object picture.

Other examples from art history are the Adoration of the Kings by Gentile da Fabriano (14th century) and Jan van Eyck's diptych with the Crucifixion and the Last Judgment (15th century). There are also pictures that can be described as hidden objects by Hans Memling (15th century) and Albrecht Altdorfer (16th century).

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (16th century) created a number of hidden objects, including The Battle Between Carnival and Lent , The Dutch Proverbs and The Children's Games .

Hidden objects have often appeared in hidden object books for children in recent decades . They are often painted from an elevated point of view, so that the child's gaze can wander over colorful landscapes. They are scenes designed for diversity that captivate the child's attention. But also in contemporary art there are numerous artists whose works are referred to as hidden objects. Thus the true Peasant War Panorama by Werner Tübke than likely the biggest hidden object. There are also photo installations that resemble hidden objects, such as that of Geoffrey Farmer . Ali Banisadr's paintings have often been compared to hidden objects, as have Jonas Burgert's and the works of Jake and Dinos Chapman . There are also works by Keith Haring that are described as hidden objects.

There are numerous hidden objects among cartoonists and comic artists today. Gerhard Seyfried , who also designed it for election posters for the first time, and Tomas Bunk are known for work in this genre . Other hidden object artists in this field are Ivo Kircheis, Marian Meinhardt-Schönfeld and Hannes Mercker .
