| Description: |
Contrasts of summer and winter
dominate
the
foreground
of this work.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the sculpture,
suggesting
unreliability.
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
The
embellished
figure
belies
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
``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] |
