ABSTRACT
The following pictures show the same phenomenon of two drawings, each with a clear, definite meaning of its own, suddenly acquiring a new meaning when seen together, as if each one complemented the other. Because they are drawn on two sides of the same sheet of paper, the question arises that the artist might have aimed, quite deliberately, at obtaining that effect: that is, as if the second picture corrected or completed the meaning of the first one. Having watched the drawings being made, I am convinced that this was not the case. Furthermore, most of the papers on which the drawings were produced were not so transparent. But, more important, the separate drawings corresponded to different views that the child had on the particular matter being illustrated, while the final image, resulting from seeing the split images united, was so significant in making sense of the person’s conflicts.
