| Description: |
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the essential fact
of the onlooker.
A temporally
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the perception
of the environment.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the self
undulate towards the centre of the prototype,
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] |
