33

33 is a magazine collage made by Carl Plate in 1945.
  • The proportion of the pig to the man is obviously very abnormal. Normals proportions of humans to pigs are reversed in this collage, capturing your attention.
  • Plate skillfully incorporated pictures to make it appear as though the source of light is coming from one side. The shadow on the doll matches the shadow on the pig.
  • Because of the text on the left, it would seem that the pig and man go together. Therefore, the presence of the doll gives the collage a feeling of randomness. The unclear meaning of the number 33 also adds to the randomness. 
  • The matching colors of the paper of the text and number 33 draws attention to those two details amidst the otherwise black and white collage.
