| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
idea behind abstract art
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
Such forms, serene and majestic, create disarmingly strong sensations.
The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the sketch into the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work. ``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
