| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
misery.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the prototype into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
Such forms, delicately variegated, create strong gestalt sensations. Sol Aris has not described the colour pallette of this image. ``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
