| Description: |
A deep underlying meaning of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
An interesting aspect of this image is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the shapes to indicate not completely concrete.
``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] |
