CONTRAST

Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1854 · p. 7
(Fr. contra ste.) In the Fine Arts, an opposition of lines or colours to each other, so contrived that the one gives greater effect to the other. By means of contrast energy and expre ion are given to a subject, even when employed on inanimate forms. All art is indeed a system of contrast: lights should contrast with shadows, figures with figures, members with members, and groups with groups. It is this which gives life, soul, and motion to a composition. [s. 294]
