Word reference - Agglutination

9/5/2014

0 Comments

 
While reading a book about art psychology I came across a word I hadn't heard in painting settings before: To agglutinate. Originally it means to stick/glue things together. While taking about art you can use the word agglutination when various figures and pictures come together to a new picture. Some examples: The kentaur, the mermaid, the Indian good Ganesh, and one example from the Swedish art world I come to think about is some of Hydman-Wallien's creatures.

Can you come up with some more examples? 

The human being also has this propensity to create symbols and archetypes. Do you recognize the cross in the upper corners of the picture of Ganesh? I guess it has had various meanings and been used in various ways through history...
