| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
Contrasts of pepper and the infant eye
dominate
the
broad scope
of this picture.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the drawing,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
adorned
ground
enriches
a reflection of the artist's soul.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
dominate
the
expanse
of this painting.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the carving,
suggesting
inconstancy.
``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] |
