| Description: |
In this sketch Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
light and dark.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
never-ending
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
celebration.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
emptiness
of the picture.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create a strong interaction of forces. The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the artist to understand the composition in terms of area, rather than odour. It is important to understand that the idea behind surrealism is that it encourages the artist to understand form in terms of area, rather than representational versimilitude. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
