Best Answer

A silhouette is named after Etienne de Silhouette who loved hand-cut silhouettes for their frugal quality. A good silhouette is not made from a shadow, it is hand-cut by a real artist. Shadows come from blocked light reflectd off an object. In Jung, the shadow is the dark side of a person.

a silhouette is a shadow or a void of an object or something. At the best it is more than a shadow, it is mastered by an artist skilled in hand-cutting portraits from viewing.
