Ernest Gombrich


Ernest Gombrich believed that an artwork is not in the eye of the beholder but in the eye of an artist. He also believed that art reflected on different dispositions of the painter such as its different emphasis. Gombrich analyzed paintings through personal style, style of the period, choice and availability of, tools used, and its medium. Its personal style deflected off of its temperament of the artist, personality, and selected preferences.  According to the tools used you would see different things. With a pencil in hand the artist will see lines, and with a brush in hand the artist will see different masses.
