The importance of the colour relatinship in the perception of works of art

Barve izražajo pestrost, brez njih bi bilo življenje dobesedno sivo. Vsaka barva ima svoje bistvene in nebistvene lastnosti. Vsaka barva v nas sproži točno določen psihofizični odziv. Veliko je že napisanega o tem, kako določena barva deluje na človeka. V diplomskem delu je narejen korak dlje – kako delujejo barve na nas v odnosih v likovnih delih. V diplomskem delu je teoretsko raziskano, kaj barva sploh je, kako jo zaznavamo, kakšen psihofizični vpliv in simboliko ima določena barva, lastnosti barve – bistvene in nebistvene. Diplomsko delo se dotakne vprašanja, zakaj so barve postavljene v barvni krog, se poglobi v barvne odnose – kontrast in harmonijo, ter barvnega komponiranja v likovnih delih in s tem vpliva kombinacij barv v likovnih delih na človeka. Vsaka teoretična raziskava je podprta oziroma dopolnjena z likovnimi deli znanih umetnikov.Colours express variety. Without them, life would be literally grey. Each colour has its essential and inessential characteristics and triggers in us a specific psychophysical reaction. A lot has been written about how a specific colour affects a person, and in my thesis, I will go a step further: how colours affect us in the relationship in art works. In my thesis we will research what colour is, how we perceive it, what psychophysical reaction and symbolism a certain colour has, colour characteristics - essential and inessential, why colours are presented in a colour circle, colour relationships – contrast and harmony, and colour composition in art works thus explaining the effect of the colour combination in artworks on people. Each theoretical research will be supported and supplemented with art works from famous artists
