| Description: |
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
celebration.
Contrasts of brightness and shade
march across
the
foreground
of the painting.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
beribboned
canvas
belies
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
``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] |
