| Description: |
An important part of the image is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. ``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] |
