The German term Klecksographie (which literally translates as blob picture) refers to the representation of patterns and figures of colored blobs.
The result is achieved when one folds in the middle a sheet of paper on which ink blots have been applied, resulting in symmetrical objects which can be interpreted as figurative representations.
Justinus Kerner (1786 – 1862) was a practitioner of klecksographies; he made a series to which he added little poems, called the Hadesbuch.
In the field of psychological testing, this technique became the basis of the Rorschach test.
