A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words Interpretation for Aspiring Artists

A Norway based theatre director and playwright, Henrik Ibsen, had coined this popular proverb, ”A picture is worth a thousand words”. It is difficult to justify what this proverb essentially preaches, but we all have acknowledged a commonly accepted interpretation of it.

A simple interpretation of this proverb is that thousands of knotty and intricate ideas can be reflected with just one (relevant) picture.

When a picture is taken righteously, it does not need any storytelling with lots of hashtags and tags as we frequently witness in the noisy world of social media. Of course, many people are on social media for likes, comments, shares, and other forms of engagement to boost their artwork. But, if we look at the real meaning of art, then it universally claims that art doesn’t need explanation and if it needs explanation, it is not the right form of art.

An artistic photographer captures moments so beautifully that with a single glance of that picture, a majority of viewers can capture the story behind that. Certainly, as per the knowledge of art and creativity of mind, some people may also see more than a picture is reflecting.

The expert photographers often recommend to aspiring photographers and artists that look for the pictures rather than stories. When you intentionally look for scenes that can give you an engagement worthy story in a picture, you will end up explaining ifs and buts of that picture to your audience on social media or in an exhibition.
