the composition of which is designed to be so understated Explanation: You give so little context. I am presuming the text refers to the internal 'structure' of the image. An alternative would be 'the formal structure of which is designed to be so understated'. Which would refer to the configuration of forms within the image. If you just say 'structure' it conveys a sense of the material nature of the photograph - the frame, the canvas and any composite parts. I think you need to bring it back to composition or 'formal structure'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2012-03-06 13:09:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or the composition of which is understated in its conception -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-03-06 14:41:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the visual arts – in particular painting, graphic design, photography and sculpture – composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art or a photograph, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art. The term composition means 'putting together,' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged or put together using conscious thought. In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context. In graphic design and desktop publishing, composition is commonly referred to as page layout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-03-06 15:25:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it is the canvas, which seems rather odd to me, then 'the canvas is structurally / materially so fine that' or 'in terms of structure / material, the canvas is so understated that ... ' This is where a bit of context would help. |

peer agreement (net): +4The finely textured canvas does not distract us from the image Explanation: This is clearly about the canvas itself, and I don't think "structure" is the right word. It means the surface texture of the material. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2012-03-06 15:47:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Texture is given as one of the translations here: http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=en&searchLoc=0&cmpType... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2012-03-06 15:51:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also say "the finely woven canvas". |
