This piece created by Rik clearly does an excellent job at demonstrating a clear dominant, subordinate, and accentual object. This piece shows a very clear foreground, middle ground, and background. To further strengthen the hierarchy of the dominant object the artist put the dominant object in the foreground. What also makes the boots the most dominant structure is the use of colors he used. When it is printed off into black and white the boots are the darkest object in the piece. And in color they are still the darkest colors used in the piece. Keeping true to the idea of hierarchy the next darkest object that resembles a light gray so happens to be the subordinate object, which is the body of the man. And in color the body of the man is also in earth tones but they are lighter than the boots. And to complete the hierarchy the whitest object that happens to be on this piece is also the accentual object, which is the bird on top of the man’s head. All of those objects of this piece are the positive objects. In this piece the artist shows that there is a fight for dominance between the negative and positive objects. The negative object seems to be just as big as the boots are and seem to draw the viewer in just as well. But what I think makes the boots the most dominant is that they are in the foreground right in your face and the fact that they are the darkest object on this piece. This artist seems to show a clear knowledge of how to juxtapose objects to show a dominant structure and get his point across to the viewer.
