| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
abstract art.
The emphatically factual experience of
beer and the dualistic essense of unreality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
It is important to understand that the
essence of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
``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] |
