Examining the Role and Presence of the Law of Proximity of Prägnanz in the Editing of the Qur'an (Case Study: Qajar Version of the Gilded Qur'an from Tabriz Central Library)
Abstract
Objective: As a principle in the communication system between visual elements and the visual perception of the audience, the effective law of proximity of Prägnanz creates a two-way communication that facilitates the process of perception. Prägnanz principles form the central core of the Gestalt theory of visual perception, some of which were first proposed in 1910 by Max Wertheimer, a Czech psychologist. The principle of proximity, among the principles and laws of Gestalt visual perception, is an effective factor in the quality of design, which causes correlation, continuity, balance, rhythm, proportion, and unity and cohesion of visual elements. One of the copies that can be considered in the field of Gestaltology is the title of the Qajar era gilded Gur'an from the central library of Tabriz. In this research, while introducing the law of proximity of Prägnanz and the above mentioned gilded Gur'an, the effective factors in the formation of a balanced and coherent work based on this principle are studied.Methodology: How the role and presence of the law of proximity in the desired work and its function in the process of visual perception of the elements of the title, as well as how it is related to other principles raised in this process, are the basic questions of this research. This research, the data of which was collected through library sources, was carried out in a descriptive-analytical method.Findings: The presence of this law and its impact on the process of visual perception in the mentioned title is 96 percent, which includes four recognizable types with the following frequencies: 30 percent of the type of proximity to the edges, 24 percent of the contact type, 28 percent of overlapping type, 15 percent of combined type. These four principles are well organized in many positions of the headboard, including the section of the sharfas, table drawing, decorations, verses of the Quran, inscriptions and frames.Conclusion: The result of this investigation showed: Despite the high density of decorations in the target work of this research and their organization based on one of the two modes of style and prominence in the motifs, the principle of proximity causes the process of visual perception to happen and annoyance. And don't let the audience get tired. This article confirms Wertheimer's interpretation of Prägnanz law that psychological organization is good as a result of the simplicity and clarity of perception, which is related to the Gestalt principles presented in this research and under it is the set of proximity principle and its types. A strong Prägnanz is present under the conditions prevailing in the mentioned title. The proximity of visual elements in contact with each other and the combination of various visual motifs and colors next to each other have created the most coherent overlap in the structure of the mentioned work, which creates a calm and clear visual communication during the process of perception.
