| Description: |
In this sketch Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
spring and winter.
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
``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] |
