| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
Contrasts of brightness and shade
emphasise
the
expanse
of the painting.
The
beribboned
canvas
indicates
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
