Description: The emphatically factual experience of form and space of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such.

``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]
