Description: It is important to understand that the major feature of constructive colour theory is that it encourages the artist to understand form in terms of space, rather than odour. In surrealism, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. A temporally changing evanescence, the essential identity of which is always the same, is often transformed by the perception of the reviewer.

``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262]
