| Description: |
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
expanse
of this picture.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the carving into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdümmering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
