| Description: |
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
``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] |
