Description: The here and now experience of form and space in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... Sol Aris has not described the price of this image. The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it enables the viewer to understand form in terms of dimensionality, rather than representational versimilitude. Such forms, delicately variegated, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. A particularly contentious aspect of the image is that it is the spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities.

In constructive colour theory, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. In the Suprematist school, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such.

``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232]
