| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
never changes,
is often entirely altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
An important part of the work is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of constructive colour theory
is that it encourages the artist
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
``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] |
