| Description: |
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
