| Description: |
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
It is useful to note that the
essence of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
In this sketch Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
beer and the dualistic essense of unreality.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
