Everyone views art differently; sometimes, a piece seems easier to understand, while other times, a piece of art may just confuse the viewer. Artists often use different colors and techniques in order to more clearly express their perception of the world. Whereas Miro uses differing paint patterns, colors, and geometric shapes in The Birth of the World to highlight an abstract, chaotic, raw view of the world, Seurat’s Evening, Honfleur utilizes a precise painting technique, known as pointillism, and particular colors in order to show how duality enhances the world around us.
