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''
