Description: |
In this picture Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
colour and space.
Contrasts of summer and autumn
march across
the
vastness
of this work.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the picture into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes entirely altered
by the mere presence
of the onlooker.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is often irrefutably altered
by the perception
of the onlooker.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
shapes
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the sensuality of intoxification.
``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] |
