“STER’S”—is an ‘abbreviated’ picture title which, in combination with the word object ‘WEB’ in the picture as its appendix, forms the underlying theme. Superficially, it seems to be about the digital cosmos of the (worldwide) web, but beyond that, the dictionary pages of the ‘Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language’ discreetly shining out of the net point to the fact that there are still alternative analog forms of life/reading—even for me. Here we have the second theme. This may seem antiquated, there is for example ‘DeepL’, a powerful online translator and other online dictionaries, but I prefer to keep my 1980 college edition with its multitude of Americanisms and detailed etymologies in my hands in the truest sense of the word.
[A] The combination of the background of the picture (the web) and another object may evoke a new term and thus “calls up a second theme”.
[B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled word.
[C] Sometimes it is the work’s title in combination with a pictorial object, that reveals the thematic connection of the picture.
[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
