Pretentious Yet Pointless
Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch dominate the vastness of this drawing. A deep underlying meaning of this particular painting is that it is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our spirituality. The decorated background indicates a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self. In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, meaningless: the significant thing is feeling, as such. Contrasts of salt and pepper march across the expanse of the work.
