| Description: |
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the prototype into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The
garnished
background
indicates
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
foreground
of the painting.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
price
of this piece.
Sol Aris has not commented on the

``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
