| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own making.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the artist
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular sculpture is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
