Paolozzi: Initiator of Pop! Art
Eduardo Paolozzi’s 1947 collage, “I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything,” is considered a foundational Pop Art work and one of the first to feature the word “POP!,” using cutouts from American magazines to depict consumerism and technology, foreshadowing the broader movement that emerged later. Created while studying in London and Paris, this collage, with its…

There’s no Local Color
We do not know what the Local Color of objects is, you think you have green eyes, but this is true with a very specific range of light, jump out of that range and the color of your iris will change, the thing is that we do not know what the local color of things…

A formal pictorial versus formal orden
Neo-posterism seeks to show how letters (a formal order) can be integrated into the image (a pictorial order). This endeavor arose from my question: Why is it that, when letters are placed in an image, they always capture the viewer’s attention so powerfully?

DP said that the frontal plane is only ONE
Deep Painting (DP) tells us that the frontal plane is only ONE of the planes that can be captured in a painting, we can also generate infinite planes, since we can sink or remove the plane that is presented, gaining knowledge, in a parallel and diagonal way, totally or partially, entering into the objects and…

Suprapictorialism is a subset of Deep Painting
Thinking, I have realized that Suprapictorialism has a close relationship with Deep Painting, since by sinking the frontal plane it is limited by the wall.

Fred’s Kitchen
These two types of kitchen furniture are very different from the point of view of Deep Painting, the upper one (as it is closed) presents a frontal plane that prevents knowing what it contains (unless it is obviously opened) but the lower one allows the movement of the frontal plane towards the wall, allowing the…

A flat & protected floor!
In a post from December 18, 2024, I posed the question, “Why are paintings—in general—rectangular?” Images placed in human dwellings follow their structure. In caves, we had irregular “pictures” incorporated into the rocky environment. Later, in proto-houses, huts, mansions, and castles, up to modern housing, it’s always the same: A FLAT, PROTECTED FLOOR! We need…

In Medicine: Deep Painting has been applied for years.
In medicine, the concept of Deep Painting has been applied for years, where, for example, a diagonal cut is made, where the plane, by “sinking,” allows us to know the cavities and, in a certain sense, the functioning of the heart; again, displacing the frontal plane gives us greater knowledge.

The sixteenth way…
The sixteenth way to create Neo-poster images is achieved by playing with the size of each letter—sometimes large, sometimes very small, and sometimes normal-sized. This process creates a slight sense of confusion: the greater the variability in size, the longer the decoding time, which slows down reading and, in a way, makes the words seem…
