| Description: |
The
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
Sol Aris has not completed the meaning of this picture. The beribboned ground indicates not completely concrete. The gently stretched upward soaring elements in this drawing, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of area and quintessential hereness... In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, meaningless: the important thing is feeling, as such. The major feature of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages Sol Aris to understand form in terms of area, rather than mass. |
