| Description: |
A perpetually
changing
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always constant,
is always in a different form
by the mere presence
of the environment.
A constantly
changing
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
remains unchanged,
is often unrecognizably altered
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
