In art
A silhouette is a form of artwork. It is most commonly a human portrait in profile, in black. Most silhouettes are formed by tracing the shadow of the subject and cutting along the resultant outline.[2]
Silhouette portraits were fashionable around the year 1800. Subsequently they have been used for book illustration, for example by Arthur Rackham.
Military usage
Silhouettes of ships, planes, tanks, and other vessels used by the military are used by soldiers and saliors for recognition purposes. See Jane's Fighting Ships, aircraft recognition.
In graphic design
To silhouette is to separate (mask) a portion of an image so that it does not show. For instance, a background.
