| Description: |
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
A notable feature of this picture is the arena of contrasting happiness and red wine
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality of the sculpture.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which thus
float free.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
celebration.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the sketch into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
``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] |
