| Description: |
An important part of this doodle is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the here and now experience of
the senses of smell and touch so clearly visible.
The
major feature of constructive colour theory
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The
essence of abstract art
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than odour.
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this work.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
