| Description: |
Contrasts of unshod feet and white wine
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this prototype.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
individuality
of this work.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
In this picture Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
spring and winter.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of spring and autumn
dominate
the
foreground
of the work.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create disarmingly intenste shivers of emotion.
``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] |
