The Other Half

On the painting “The Other Half" the bright pink background is combined with the cold color of the gray stone thus creating an obvious contrast. The vivid colors of the background immediately attract our attention, making us study the silhouette of the flower, thereby enhancing the emotional impact of the picture. The viewer involuntarily thinks: how may the other half look like. The gray background, in turn, neutralizes the effect, returning us to reality and the natural beauty of the forms of the iris flower.
