Letter T c. 16th century

Editor: This is "Letter T," by an anonymous artist. The intricate, interwoven lines are mesmerizing. What do you see in the visual construction of this piece? Curator: Note how the artist uses the stark contrast of black and white to create an almost dizzying effect. The negative space is just as important as the letter itself. It challenges the eye. Editor: It does make me question where the letter begins and ends. Thanks for pointing that out. Curator: Indeed. The artist masterfully manipulates the viewer's perception through the interplay of figure and ground. An exercise in pure form. Editor: I see it now! Thanks for helping me look at this differently.
