There is a lot to do with the relationship between the artist and the image in which they create, they can also be affected by the history of images and they could be inspired by a particular image in which they are inspired by and would like to recreate. The culture or the time and place can also affect the image because we can be inspired by everyday items or buildings and things we see on a day to day basis. This can have an impact upon the images which we create and how the overall look is. This could also affect the context and meaning of the image. When people couldn’t read or write they would look at paintings and visually look and understand what the painting was saying and if it had a narrative or story to it.
Elsie Wright – Cottingley Fairies - 1917
Rankin – Nokia – 2004
These are another two images which show the same theme however is totally different because of the time in which they were created. The Cottingley Fairies was created in 1917 during World War 1 and there were just two cousins who were playing around and having fun. These Cottingley Fairies images made people believe in fairies and they genuinely believed this to be as evidence however it was only the cousins messing around. The Rankin image was created a lot later and is image manipulation to create this image and we know now and are aware that it is manipulated image. This shows the differences between the times and the cultures as everyone believed in this 1917 image however now we know that it is a manipulated image. You can take two images and put them together to create something with a totally different context and meaning, people use the technique to create made up and unreal images it can also be used for irony and a commercial outcome.
