The study shows that Lindbergs artwork is allegorical because of its visual structure that makes the viewer read it like a rebus. The artwork is read, interpreted through the viewers cultural position and personal memories. Its main message is humor which is tangible through its visual components but other aspects like ambiguity and irony are created through what is visually left out. Lindbergs minimal forms of expression creates a width of possible messages and the total interpretation is established beyond its visual constitution. By reading Lindbergs artwork allegorical the thesis suggests emphasizing the viewers personal memories and feelings to more accurately reflect the narrative aspect of interpretation. (Less)
