How Space Is Used To Create Emotion

Space can be used to create emotion. If someone is far away in an open field it can create the feeling of lonesomeness. But if someone is very close to you and in your personal space, it can create more of a personal, intimate feeling.

The mood created in this artwork by Giorgio de Chirco is more lonesome then intimate, do to the usage of space. The two people in the image are very distant from everything, and there are no other people around them.

The mood created in this self-portrait by Giorgio de Chirco is not as intimate as some other artworks, but still has a much more intimate feeling then the first example. The person in this portrait is closer to the viewer and is making eye contact with the viewer.
