| Description: |
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is often in a different form
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
A notable feature of this image is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
``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] |
