| Description: |
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The
essence of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than odour.
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
