Expresive qualities of color and shape

In my diploma thesis I research expressive qualities of color and shape and their interaction with each other. I began my research with theoretical analysis and study of the corresponding literature. Theoretical part leans on findings of different authors from Vasilij Kandinski, Rudolf Arnheim to Milan Butina. I compare their ideas and theses and support them by findings form psychological field from Anton Tstenjak and Asja Nina Kovačič. All knowledge and information in my diploma is also supported by thoughts and quotes from different abstract painters with focus on Henri Matisse, who was also the inspiration for my work and my collages that I made in empirical part. In the end I analyse my collages with method of formal analysis
