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 the outline or shape of an object or person, typically filled in with a solid color. A shadow is the dark shape cast onto a surface when an object blocks light. Silhouettes are independent of the source of light, while shadows depend on it.
