| Description: |
The
decorated
figure
enriches
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The
beribboned
background
belies
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The
figured
ground
enriches
a reflection of the artist's soul.
Contrasts of night and day
dominate
the
broad scope
of the prototype.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
