Luminance Differences Affect Our Perceptions

Luminance Differences Affect Our Perceptions

Artists use the technique of “equiluminance” to blur outlines and suggest motion. We cannot perceive the edges of objects where object and background have the same luminance. If parts of a painting are equiluminant, their positions become ambiguous. They may seem to shift position or to float.

Detail from Plus Reversed, Richard Anuszkiewicz, 1960.

Equiluminant colors have special properties. They can make a painting appear unstable. Adjust the colors in the painting above. Somewhere in the middle (the exact point varies among computers), the shapes may appear jittery.

The red and blue seem to move around because they are equiluminant. The “What” system sees the shapes because of the strong color contrast, but the “Where” system can’t because the colors are equiluminant.

An object that can be seen by both subdivisions of the visual system will be perceived accurately. It will appear to move correctly or appear stable and appropriately three-dimensional. But if the two subdivisions are not balanced in their response to an object, it may look peculiar. For example, an object defined by equiluminant colors can be seen by the What system but is invisible (or poorly seen) by the Where system. It may seem flat, it may seem to shift position or it may seem to float ambiguously because there is too little luminance contrast to provide adequate information about its three-dimensional shape, its location in space or its motion (or lack of motion). Conversely, something defined by very low contrast contours is seen by the Where system but not the What system and may seem to have depth and spatial organization but no clear shape.

Equiluminant colors have long been recognized by artists as being special because they can generate a sense of vibration, motion or sometimes an eerie quality. This strange quality arises because the What system can see something that the Where system cannot; with only What system activation in isolation we can identify a particular object, but its position and motion (or lack of motion) are undetermined.

Use of equiluminance in painting can make sunsets twinkle and flowers shimmer. We will explore this effect in a series of paintings from Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and others.

Andy Warhol: Marilyn Game: Warhol Talks on "The right color"

  Andy Warhol's Marilyn Prints

In the 1960s, Andy Warhol created several “mass-produced” images from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie Onassis. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades. The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood? Unlike the Fauve colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. They refer to the popular culture, which also inspires Warhol to experiment with the technique of silkscreen printing, a popular technique used for mass production. In doing so, Warhol moves away from the elitist avant-garde tradition. Initially, many spectators received this new marriage between art and commodity culture with little enthusiasm.   Warhol discusses his choice of color in this 19981 recording. Press the play button to listen to his comments. On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in August 1962, Warhol used this image for his screenprinting. It was a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the film Niagara, made in 1953.    Warhol was fascinated with morbid concepts. Sometimes, however, the results are astonishingly beautiful, such as the resonating, brilliantly colored images of Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn canvases were early examples of Warhol’s use of silkscreen printing, a method the artist experimented with, recalling: In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple quick and chancy. I was thrilled with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first Marilyns. Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints. The screen is prepared using a photographic process, and then different color inks are printed using a rubber squeegee to press the paint onto the painting through the screen.
