<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7843425, member: 4920&quot;]I didn&#039;t think you knew. See if this makes any horse sense. They throw off your <i>eye-movement </i>through the coin. These engravers, if we can agree, are like atrists, that&#039;s what they&#039;re doing, controlling your eye-movement. They&#039;re conscious of that, every bit of it, because they know, going in, it&#039;s the main determinant of how you&#039;re going to feel about the artwork. The next time you look at a coin, pay attention to what grabs your eye. I&#039;ll tell you what it is, before you look, it&#039;s the detail. That ain&#039;t no accident. The detail is like an eye-magnet. A master engraver will use it to move your eye through the artwork in the way he intends it to move because he knows that&#039;s what dictates the way you&#039;re going to feel about his artwork, his skills, and effort. That&#039;s <i>why</i> they do it. Call this some Art Appreciation 101. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
