| Description: |
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
undulate towards the centre of the prototype,
suggesting
unreliability.
The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the drawing into the world of similarity of summer and autumn. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. ``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] |
