| Description: |
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
This sketch is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the painting
is
the essential difference between pattern and texture.
``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] |
