Question

Look at the artwork above closely. Describe how both a Structuralist and a Non-Structuralist might describe this piece of art.

Answer 1

Answer:

A Structuralist would likely see a plant like image on a blank background, with leaves and some type of buds. On the buds, a mask or clown head appears to have bloomed. The head has human physical features, and looks like its face is painting white with a collar of some type around its neck. A Non-Structuralist would believe there was imagery and symbolism. The plant could represent life or living, and the people or lives that grow and then die, and the lives yet to come to the world. The clown or figures face may represent a person or group, perhaps one which is misunderstood or disliked, based on the look of sadness and despair visible in the face. There are many theories that could be said, however the main difference is that a Non-Structuralist would insist that there is symbolism and not just reality.
