Analysis of the painting works of Majid Mehrgan (paintings of intimidation, heirs of the kingdom) Based on the components of Gestalt theories

Problem Statement : 

Gestalt theory is one of the psychological theories that influenced the visual arts in the 19th century. The basic framework of this theory is that the analysis of different parts of a psychological phenomenon, even though it is done in general, cannot cover it completely and to understand the nature It should be reached from top to bottom and from its overall structure to its constituent properties. According to this theory, in order to know anything, one must know its parts, and when one of these parts is changed, the other parts are also changed, and a visual work can be a good example for This is the issue and the best way to understand its effect is to break it down into its primary constituent elements.

The purpose of this research, which is a type of developmental research, is to analyze the visual elements of the above images based on the components of Gestalt theory.

This research is in the field of descriptive and analytical research, and the obtained information is analyzed by the method of studies and library collections with the approach of Gestalt psychology.

The results of this research show that the principles of Gestalt theory are consistent with the elements of the above paintings drawn by the creative mind of the contemporary artist. These principles increase the beauty and dynamism of the pictures and create more visual appeal for the audience. Also, the effect of each of the gestalt laws on the works is not the same and creates different pretensions, therefore emphasizing one of them as the most indicative principle in the paintings is an unrecognizable thing. Also, by examining the works, it was found that the principles of Gestalt visual perception play a very effective role in improving the reading process of the above works.
