| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the doodle into
the world of delicate lissome curves.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
emptiness
of the sketch.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
misery.
An important part of the picture is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
The
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
